Hello,
upon request at Czech Wikipedia's helpdesk I created a tool that sends notifications about new weekly articles by e-mail together with its first paragraph and link to it. To accomplish such a thing I need user's email, so I firstly decided to store it in a database. To prevent this tool from spamming I of course require its confirmation by accessing an URL with a random string (MD5 hash of user's email *and* random number from 1 to 100; I mean, those two things are in one hash). You can have a look at this tool at tools.wmflabs.org/wiki2email/.
My question is: Is this okay? Should I add some kind of formal information to the tool? If so, is there some help page? Should I stop with collecting mails at all and use some WMF-maintained service for mass-emailing (mailman at lists.wikimedia.org maybe?) and make the tool to just send an email to the list itself?
This question came to my mind before creating, so I do appologize for asking after programming.
Best regards, Martin Urbanec
I'd say that you should display < https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikitech:Labs_Terms_of_use#If_my_tools_c... *before* you collect that private information. It's true that email addresses are not listed in that page as private information, but EU-wide email addresses are private information so I'd display the warning nonetheless. Thanks.

Hi Martin,
I'm not authoritative on PII policies at all, but here's a couple of things that came to mind as I read your question.
2018-02-10 11:26 GMT+00:00 Martin Urbanec martin.urbanec@wikimedia.cz:
To prevent this tool from spamming I of course require its confirmation by accessing an URL with a random string (MD5 hash of user's email *and* random number from 1 to 100; I mean, those two things are in one hash).
Does this mean the URL for a given email address can be guessed in at most 100 attempts by someone who doesn't control the address? I think you'd typically want to draw your random numbers from a much larger range, or use as token something that was encrypted or signed with a secret only your server knows. It would probably also make sense to make your URLs valid for only a certain time.
However...
Should I stop with collecting mails at all and use some WMF-maintained service for mass-emailing (mailman at lists.wikimedia.org maybe?) and make the tool to just send an email to the list itself?
If creating a single mailing list is an option (for instance, you don't plan on customizing the emails per user), this seems like a very good way to go.

MediaWiki api could be used to send emails to users that have email set in their preference.

"I don't need to have the emails but what if somebody w/o account at WP would like to use this?"
They can create an account?
Tools should serve Wikimedia users, personally I don't see an account as undue burden on them.
"Well, username is *also* a private information according the page MarcoAurelio linked, so I would need to solve it anyway."
I assume any implementation of this tool will need some form of "account creation" and the terms will be necessary, but I do see list of users signed up to the tool as not nearly as sensitive as a list of email addresses associated with Wikimedia users.

Ah. Then no there isn’t a problem. Just keep wherever it’s saved secure, allow the user to delete their info at any time and disclose that this information is stored to the users. https://tools.wmflabs.org/iabot does this in the user preferences.

I don't know how many subscribers you plan on having, but I'd probably recommend going this route so you aren't reimplementing subscribe/unsubscribe, bounce handling, moderation, and so on.
There are similar lists like English Wikipedia's daily-article-l and Commons' daily-image-l.
