It has been brought to my attention that Cafepress, which we currently use to sell Wikimedia Merchandise at http://www.cafepress.com/wikipedia , has some privacy issues.
These policies seem to me to be very much in line with what I'm used to seeing at most commercial websites, and they don't concern me much. However, it should of couse be made clear in the link to the CafePress shop that CafePress is a company entirely external to, independent, and not accountable to Wikipedia (assuming that isn't evident already).
In the ISBN links, we have links to a variety of commercial sites with (no doubt) a variety of privacy and disclosure policies. If this is an serious issue with CafePress, those should be re-examined as well. This certainly doesn't sound as serious an issue as the Amazon.com commissions; if necessary, we can defuse this issue in a similar way.
Furthermore, as a non-profit organization, aren't there disclosure requirements regarding our direct donors?
