If there is any advice on the Dutch Wikipedia that users have to send in a copy of their passport to anyone, including OTRS, then it should be removed. In most cases of interest, OTRS agents can confirm identity by checking that a source email matches an official registered domain or that it is the address given on an official website. Passport images are of particular concern due to the prevalent misuse of such images for fraud and I would have serious concerns if such images were retained on OTRS as the system has no special or demonstrably robust security measures.

Hello,
I want to know if there is a privacy concern on the Dutch Wikipedia.
The short story:
When you got blocked on the Dutch Wikipedia for socking you can remove the block by sending a copy of your passport to a user thats trusted by the community. After he checks your passport or all the passports involved if you have a shared connection the block will be removed.
The user where you have to send it to isn't indentified by the foundation and you have to send it by snailmail not to OTRS.
The foundations privacy policies does that allow this to happen?
