We typically survey users in order to identify respondent's interests and preferences in order to more effectively plan WikiConference North America events.

Information We Collect
Our surveys collect responses that participants provide to questions asked. All of our surveys will only record responses after completion; survey participants can quit the survey before completion and answers will not be recorded.

Information Sharing
Comprehensive raw survey results are never shared publicly. Comprehensive raw survey results are only shared and reviewed by WikiConference North America event organizers, and, when needed, Wikimedia Foundation employees and other Wikimedia affiliates that we may be working with. We make every effort to share comprehensive raw results with as few parties as necessary, and to strip any identifying data unless necessary.

Survey statistics, analysis, and partial answers may be shared publicly, but is never done so when identifying information may be revealed.
