I am kind of concerned (not with the change btw). Basically if I wanted to learn the IP of a user I dislike, all I need to do is file a criminal charge? How does it work? - White Cat

Hello,
During the last board meeting, the board approved the following resolution
The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees will amend its privacy policy to notify, when possible, those members of the community whose personally identifiable data has been sought through, or produced as a result of, civil or criminal legal process, except when such notification is forbidden by state or federal law in the United States of America.
This change of policy was suggested early march by Nsk92, following the Video Professor incident.

As a matter of interest, I had asked Mike to review entirely, and to work on a full update of our privacy policy. We should expect a full draft for this summer. However, I felt that this little update could anticipate the brand new summer version.
Thanks
Florence
