Good morning, Ma! Pretty day here, but cool in the mid-40s. How are you and what are you up to? Just completed a next step in World Univ & Sch collaborating with Wikidata Wikimedia Deutschland - and Wikibase.cloud - kind of interesting to read their Privacy Policy and Terms of Use in terms of European Data Protection GDPR law even, and have added this as item 8 in the upcoming 4/16/22 Agenda for WUaS Monthly Business Meeting - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/04/astragalus-lentiginosus.html (if you might like to take a glance) 🙂 Hoping this finds you well and staying warm. Sending love, Scott

World University and School from Wikidata Wikimedia Deutschland (with GDPR law too!):
Action Needed: Please review the policies of Wikibase.cloud to begin your migration journey

Hello!
If you are a recipient of this message, then you are a current user of WBstack.com who has opted in to migrating to Wikibase.cloud. We’re excited that you will soon be among the first users of Wikimedia Deutschland’s Wikibase as a Service platform!
As the first step in the migration process, you will need to accept the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use of Wikibase.cloud. Please review these policies and accept or reject the terms contained therein by completing this form. To ensure the migration process can proceed efficiently, the deadline for completing this form is Monday, April 25th at 23:59 UTC. The sooner you fill out the form, the sooner you will likely be migrated to the new service.
Due to local regulations, Wikibase.Cloud users are legally required to display an imprint on their homepage indicating that they are responsible for the content in their Wiki. See Impressum#On_webpages for more details.
Please note that the experimental “Federated Properties” feature is not currently supported on Wikibase.cloud. We will migrate the affected wikis regardless, but please note that federated properties will not be resolved once the wiki has moved to Wikibase.cloud. We will reach out to affected users with more than 50 items in their Wikis separately.
During the invitation-only closed beta phase of the platform, Wikibase.cloud will offer a nearly identical experience to what you’re used to on WBstack.com. We look forward to continuously improving and evolving the service during the course of this closed beta launch.
All the best,
The Wikibase.cloud Team

Wikibase.cloud Privacy Policy
https://www.wikibase.cloud/privacy-policy
https://web.archive.org/save/https://www.wikibase.cloud/privacy-policy
Privacy policy – Wikibase.Cloud
The Wikimedia Deutschland РGesellschaft zur F̦rderung Freien Wissens e. V. (hereinafter referred to as "Wikimedia" or "we") operates the website and its services available on the Internet at wikibase.cloud including the respective sub-directories (hereinafter referred to as the "Website").
With this privacy policy, we would like to inform you which data we will process when you visit the website or use its services. By providing this information we also comply with our duty to inform you in accordance with Art. 13 and Art. 14 of the EU-General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Please be aware: Wikibase.cloud is a platform that enables everyone to create and run their own open knowledge base as an instance on wikibase.cloud (the “Instance”). While Wikimedia is also the controller for the technical provision of these Instances and the processing of personal data when you visit and use an Instance, Wikimedia is not the controller of any personal data available on the Instance. The controller for this data is exclusively the person named in the imprint of the Instance. If you have any questions regarding this kind of personal data, please refer to the person mentioned in the imprint.
Controller
The controller for the processing of personal data as described in this privacy policy:
Wikimedia Deutschland РGesellschaft zur F̦rderung Freien Wissens e. V.
Tempelhofer Ufer 23-24
10963 Berlin
Telephone: +49(0)30-21915826-0
Email:datenschutz@wikimedia.de
We have appointed a Data Protection Officer whom you can contact under the following addresses:
Thorsten Feldmann, LL.M.
JBB Rechtsanwälte Jaschinski Biere Brexl Partnerschaft mbB
Christinenstr. 18/19
10119 Berlin
Telephone: +49 30 443 765 0
E-Mail:datenschutz@wikimedia.de
The controller for any personal data uploaded to and available on the platform is the person named in the imprint. With regard to this data Wikimedia acts only as a processor.
Purposes, legal bases and storage period
General use of the platform
We automatically record the accesses to our websites. Therefore, when you visit our website, you transmit certain technical data to us, namely:
- IP address,
- accessed content,
- information about the transmission,
- date of access,
- the amount of data transmitted,
- the referrer,
- the web browser/user agent.
Where the GDPR applies, the processing of the IP address when establishing a connection is based on Art. 6 par. 1 lit. b) GDPR to provide the website you requested.
Our host also creates so-called log files to maintain system security, in order to guarantee the security and integrity of our IT systems in which the information above (excluding the amount of data transmitted) is stored. These purposes also represent the legitimate interest for which the processing is carried out (Art. 6 par. 1 lit. f) GDPR). We store the logs for a period of 30 days and delete them afterwards.
Registering for a user account
To create wikis you have to sign up and create a user account. For this purpose we collect and process your email address and a password. We will send you a validation email to the address you have provided. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. We process your personal data for as long as you have your account with us and delete it thereafter.
If you register with us, we need to ensure that you have no malicious intentions. Hence, it is necessary that we check your IP Address against a few internationally recognized spam and abuse prevention services, namely combined.abuse.ch, xbl.spamhaus.org, cbl.abuseat.org, http.dnsbl.sorbs.net, opm.tornevall.org, all.s5h.net, dnsbl.dronebl.org. The processing is based as well on Art. 6 par. 1 lit. b) GDPR since without this verification we cannot enter into a contractual relationship with you. Some of the services mentioned above reside in countries outside of the EU. Spamhaus and combined.abuse reside in Andorra and Switzerland. The European Commission has adopted an adaquacy decision for both countries. Dnsbl.sorbs.net and dnsbl.dronebl.org may process personal data in countries without such a decision. In this case (ans also any other case where one of the service providers may process personal data in a third country without an adaquacy decision) the transfer is based on Art. 49 par. 1 lit. d) GDPR.
Creating a wikibase or mediawiki
On our Website you can easily set up a Wikibase or mediawiki instance where you can create collaborative knowledge bases and publish data. You have to choose a site name, a site domain and an initial admin username. This information as well as any data published on your wikibase or mediawiki will be publicly available once your wiki is published. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. We process your personal data for as long as you have your account with us and delete it thereafter.
Contact
You can contact us via email. We will then process your email address and, if applicable, your name, a subject and the content of your request to answer your enquiry due to our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR).
We will store your enquiry until we have answered it and fulfilled your request. We will delete it afterwards unless legal provisions prevent deletion. We may store data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR where it is necessary for providing evidence or to comply with legal retention periods in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR. If the request is made within the framework of an existing or prospective contractual relationship with us, the storage period shall be based on the underlying contractual relationship.
Categories of recipients
We use external service providers if we are unable to provide services ourselves or if it is not reasonable to do so. These external service providers are primarily providers of IT services, such as our hosting service provider Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4.
To ensure the encryption of your wikibase or mediawiki, and provide the Website with an HTTPS/SSL certificate we will transfer the domain name to the Let's encrypt certification agency, 548 Market St, PMB 57274, San Francisco, CA 94104-5401, which is necessary to create the certificate.
For sending emails, we use the service mailgun of the Mailgun Technologies, Inc., 112 E Pecan St. #1135, San Antonio, TX 78205. We have concluded Standard Contractual Clauses with mailgun as appropriate safeguards to ensure an adequate level of protection of your personal data.
General rights of data subjects
The GDPR guarantees you certain rights, which you can assert against us - if the legal requirements are met.
- Art. 15 GDPR - Right of access: You have the right to obtain confirmation from us as to whether personal data relating to you are being processed and, if so, what these data are and the detailed circumstances of the processing.
- Art. 16 GDPR - Right of rectification: You have the right to ask us to rectify incorrect personal data concerning you immediately. You also have the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary declaration, taking into account the purposes of the processing.
- Art. 17 GDPR - Right to deletion: You have the right to demand that we delete any personal data relating to you immediately.
- Art. 18 GDPR - Right to restriction of processing: You have the right to request us to restrict processing.
- Art. 20 GDPR - Right to data portability: You have the right, in the event of processing based on consent or for the fulfilment of a contract, to receive the personal data concerning you which you have provided us with in a structured, common and machine-readable format and to transfer this data to another responsible party without hindrance from us or to have the data transferred directly to the other responsible party, insofar as this is technically feasible.
- Art. 77 GDPR in conjunction with Section 19 BDSG - Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority: You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority at any time, in particular in the Member State in which you are resident, your place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes data protection law.
In particular right to object and right to withdraw consent
- Art. 21 GDPR - Right to object: You have the right to object at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is necessary on the basis of a legitimate interest on our part or in order to carry out a task in the public interest, or which is carried out in the exercise of official authority.
If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can prove compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or unless the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
If we process your personal data for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object to the processing at any time. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes.
In order to exercise your right of objection, you can, for example, send us an email to the email address mentioned above.
- Withdrawal of consent: If you have given us your informed consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. In this case, all data processing that we have carried out until your withdrawal remains lawful.
Obligation to provide data
You have no contractual or legal obligation to provide us with personal data. However, we then might not be able to offer you the requested services.
The existence of automated decision-making (including profiling)
We will not make you subject to any automated decision-making, including profiling in accordance with Art. 22 para. 1 and 4 GDPR, which has legal effects on you or affects you.
Internet-specific data processing and cookies
Cookies

The specific cookies we or third parties store on your device and their purposes are listed in the table below.
Google reCaptcha
We use the Google reCaptcha service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). Google reCaptcha uses the following data to check whether you are a human or a computer: IP address of the end device used, the website that you visit with us and on which the captcha is embedded, the date and duration of the visit, the recognition data of the browser and operating system type used, mouse movements and possibly other technical data. In addition, Google sets cookies on your device. We do not gain any knowledge of the data collected and processed by Google. The legal basis for the data processing described above is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DS-GVO. We have a legitimate interest in ensuring the security of our website and protecting ourselves against automated entries (attacks). For this reason, we cannot offer you the option to object here, but must point out that you should not use the function protected by the reCaptcha function in this case and should not call up the associated page.

(f) | These Clauses do not by themselves ensure compliance with obligations related to international transfers in accordance with Chapter V of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and/or Regulation (EU) 2018/1725. |
Clause 2
Invariability of the Clauses
(a) | The Parties undertake not to modify the Clauses, except for adding information to the Annexes or updating information in them. |
(b) | This does not prevent the Parties from including the standard contractual clauses laid down in these Clauses in a broader contract, or from adding other clauses or additional safeguards provided that they do not directly or indirectly contradict the Clauses or detract from the fundamental rights or freedoms of data subjects. |
Clause 3
Interpretation
(a) | Where these Clauses use the terms defined in Regulation (EU) 2016/679 or Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 respectively, those terms shall have the same meaning as in that Regulation. |

In assessing the appropriate level of security, the Parties shall take due account of the state of the art, the costs of implementation, the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing and the risks involved for the data subjects. |
(b) | The processor shall grant access to the personal data undergoing processing to members of its personnel only to the extent strictly necessary for implementing, managing and monitoring of the contract. The processor shall ensure that persons authorised to process the personal data received have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality. |
6.5. Sensitive data
If the processing involves personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, genetic data or biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person, data concerning health or a person’s sex life or sexual orientation, or data relating to criminal convictions and offences (“sensitive data”), the processor shall apply specific restrictions and/or additional safeguards.
6.6. Documentation and compliance
(a) | The Parties shall be able to demonstrate compliance with these Clauses. |
(b) | The processor shall deal promptly and adequately with inquiries from the controller about the processing of data in accordance with these Clauses. |
(c) | The processor shall make available to the controller all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with the obligations that are set out in these Clauses and stem directly from Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and/or Regulation (EU) 2018/1725. At the controller’s request, the processor shall also permit and contribute to audits of the processing activities covered by these Clauses, at reasonable intervals or if there are indications of non-compliance. In deciding on a review or an audit, the controller may take into account relevant certifications held by the processor. |
(d) | The controller may choose to conduct the audit by itself or mandate an independent auditor. Audits may also include inspections at the premises or physical facilities of the processor and shall, where appropriate, be carried out with reasonable notice. |
(e) | The Parties shall make the information referred to in this Clause, including the results of any audits, available to the competent supervisory authority/ies on request. |
6.7. Use of sub-processors
(a) | GENERAL WRITTEN AUTHORISATION: The processor has the controller’s general authorisation for the engagement of sub-processors from an agreed list. The processor shall specifically inform in writing the controller of any intended changes of that list through the addition or replacement of sub-processors at least two months in advance, thereby giving the controller sufficient time to be able to object to such changes prior to the engagement of the concerned sub-processor(s). The processor shall provide the controller with the information necessary to enable the controller to exercise the right to object. |
(b) | Where the processor engages a sub-processor for carrying out specific processing activities (on behalf of the controller), it shall do so by way of a contract which imposes on the sub-processor, in substance, the same data protection obligations as the ones imposed on the data processor in accordance with these Clauses. The processor shall ensure that the sub-processor complies with the obligations to which the processor is subject pursuant to these Clauses and to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and/or Regulation (EU) 2018/1725. |
(c) | At the controller’s request, the processor shall provide a copy of such a sub-processor agreement and any subsequent amendments to the controller. To the extent necessary to protect business secret or other confidential information, including personal data, the processor may redact the text of the agreement prior to sharing the copy. |
(d) | The processor shall remain fully responsible to the controller for the performance of the sub-processor’s obligations in accordance with its contract with the processor. The processor shall notify the controller of any failure by the sub-processor to fulfil its contractual obligations. |
(e) | The processor shall agree a third party beneficiary clause with the sub-processor whereby - in the event the processor has factually disappeared, ceased to exist in law or has become insolvent - the controller shall have the right to terminate the sub-processor contract and to instruct the sub-processor to erase or return the personal data. |
6.8. International transfers
(a) | Any transfer of data to a third country or an international organisation by the processor shall be done only on the basis of documented instructions from the controller or in order to fulfil a specific requirement under Union or Member State law to which the processor is subject and shall take place in compliance with Chapter V of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 or Regulation (EU) 2018/1725. |
(b) | The controller agrees that where the processor engages a sub-processor in accordance with Clause 7.7. for carrying out specific processing activities (on behalf of the controller) and those processing activities involve a transfer of personal data within the meaning of Chapter V of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, the processor and the sub-processor can ensure compliance with Chapter V of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 by using standard contractual clauses adopted by the Commission in accordance with of Article 46(2) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, provided the conditions for the use of those standard contractual clauses are met. |
Clause 7
Assistance to the controller
(a) | The processor shall promptly notify the controller of any request it has received from the data subject. It shall not respond to the request itself, unless authorised to do so by the controller. | ||||||||
(b) | The processor shall assist the controller in fulfilling its obligations to respond to data subjects’ requests to exercise their rights, taking into account the nature of the processing. In fulfilling its obligations in accordance with (a) and (b), the processor shall comply with the controller’s instructions | ||||||||
(c) | In addition to the processor’s obligation to assist the controller pursuant to Clause 8(b), the processor shall furthermore assist the controller in ensuring compliance with the following obligations, taking into account the nature of the data processing and the information available to the processor:
| ||||||||
(d) | The Parties shall set out in Annex III the appropriate technical and organisational measures by which the processor is required to assist the controller in the application of this Clause as well as the scope and the extent of the assistance required. |
