WMUK doesn't yet have an established privacy policy for its projects (aside from its donor privacy policy) - which is something that should be corrected. However, it's not trivial to turn the WMF's privacy policy into one that WMUK can adopt, due to the differences between the projects that WMF operate vs. those that WMUK operate. Based on the WMF privacy policy, I've set out a draft WMUK privacy policy at: http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy This needs further revision, and I'd encourage everyone receiving this email to directly make, or use the talk page to suggest, changes to this draft policy.
