User:AmandaNP/ACC/Draft Privacy Policy

Thank you for using the Account creation system, also referred to as ACC. We realize that both people requesting accounts and the tool users may have certain information that may be private and sensitive, and would therefore like it to be treated that way. At ACC we try and strike the balance between the information we need to create your account, and your privacy.

The account creation process is operated by an independent group of Wikimedia volunteers who process account creation requests. Although our servers are currently operated by the Wikimedia toolserver and we try to help improve Wikimedia projects, we are not a part of, nor do we represent, the Wikimedia Foundation. Activities on other websites are covered by their own respective privacy policies.

At ACC our server automatically collects your IP address, your web browser's useragent, and cookies. We also collect your email address, comments, and any other information that you choose to provide us.

We strive to make sure that no data leaves the tool; but if such data is released you agree not to hold the Wikimedia Foundation, the Wikimedia Toolserver operators, the tool users, the tool administrators, or the tool developers responsible.
