Hi Andy, Great to hear you are doing this work with Charity Navigator. Very cool! To answer your question about the Foundation’s 990, the policy you linked covers user data and does not apply to this specific 990 question. However, we do now have an internal policy. It was not finalized in time for periods covered by past 990s, but we will be reporting this policy in future filings.
Thank you for checking! -greg ------- Gregory Varnum Communications Strategist Wikimedia Foundation <https://wikimediafoundation.org/> gvar...@wikimedia.org Pronouns: He/Him/His > On Feb 20, 2018, at 11:12 AM, Andy Mabbett <a...@pigsonthewing.org.uk> wrote: > > I'm liaising with Charity Navigator, to import data about US charities > into Wikidata. > > As an example, I've been looking at their page about the WMF > > https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=11212 > > and note that their otherwise excellent rating of the foundation is > reduced by four points (the maximum is 100) due the apparent absence > of a Records Retention and Destruction Policy, "as reported by the > charity on its Form 990". > > However, > > https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_retention_guidelines > > suggests that this is an error.
