*bump*
Just wondered whether anyone had been able to look in more detail at what the legal/data protection barriers to releasing statistics broken down by country are?
I'd be particularly interested to see how WMF is doing at securing repeat donations and tax-efficient donations from the UK, as I just received an appeal email with a link to a form that was not really optimised to do either (generally speaking if someone is being asked for a £10 one-off gift, asking them for a £10 monthly gift doesn't get many monthly gifts....)

I can understand that if there are countries with very small numbers of donors you wouldn't want to give country-by-country breakdowns. But national charities report on how much money they raise all the time without any legal barriers, so I doubt there can be barriers to WMF reporting by country for most countries....

Lodewijk: So just as last year, fundraising totals have been posted by region but there is currently no public data for donations from each country. It's felt that the regional breakdown at least provides a compromise between providing a semi-decent view of where our donations come from while at the same time respecting privacy and other legal reasons that is associated with releasing country level data.
Huh? Like Rupert, I find this comment very confusing. What specific privacy and legal reasons are there for not providing a per-country breakdown of donations?
