Hi,
We have written a page on wikimediafoundation.org[1] that clarifies how the Wikimedia Foundation treats user feedback from new tools such as ArticleFeedback[2] and MoodBar.[3]
The intention of this page is to clarify for users that their contributions through these (and future) tools are equivalent to contributions made through the wiki. The new "Feedback" page is user-facing (linked from within these new tools) and is intended to complement the Wikimedia privacy policy.[4]
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns regarding the new page.
Cheers,
Geoff

Thank you for the clarification. I was wondering whether the page can be confusing for someone who randomly opens it without knowing it's only about such tools: it's quite obvious that it refers only to feedback sent through the websites, but the language is (correctly) very generic, so that it almost seems to apply even to emails sent to OTRS.
And speaking of feedback, thank you for your reply on http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Legal/Legal_Policies&oldid=2751779#Thanks.21 as well.
