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!
It is indeed the case that all registration information is being handled in accordance with WMF's privacy policy, and has been from the very beginning. I've just added a notice to that effect in the most prominent place I could think of.
I and everyone else working on this project treat this very seriously, so please let me know if we can do anything more to address your concerns.
Austin
