Hi,
by its nature, the Wikimania registration form at https://wm10reg.wikimedia.org/ needs to ask for sensitive personal information. However, it currently does not state what this information will be used for and who will have access to it. I was told that the usual Wikimedia privacy policy applies - could we add a link to it on the registration form, for clarification? (http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_policy) Thanks!
As a general remark, the privacy of Wikimania registration data has been an issue in the past. While for example the Buenos Aires team appears to have been very diligent in that regard, there have been at least two other Wikimanias where real names of participants were posted on the Web, against their will.
Regards,
HaeB
