Last updated: 2 September 2026
Wikidesk respects your privacy and aims to be clear about how information is handled when you visit or use wikidesk.org.
This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected through the website, how that information may be used, and the choices available to visitors and users.
1. Information We Collect
Depending on how you use Wikidesk, we may receive limited information in the following ways.
Information you provide
You may voluntarily provide information when you:
- Contact Wikidesk

- Participate in discussions or other site features
- Communicate with Wikidesk through an available contact channel
The information provided may include your name, email address, username, message, and any other information you choose to include.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, Wikidesk may automatically receive certain technical information when a page is accessed. This can include:
- IP address
- Browser and device type
- Operating system
- Referring page
- Requested pages or resources
- Date and time of access
- Basic technical information needed to operate and protect the website
This information is generally used for website operation, security, troubleshooting, performance measurement, and improving the service.
2. How We Use Information
Information collected through Wikidesk may be used to:
- Operate and maintain the website
- Respond to enquiries and feedback
- Investigate reported errors or inappropriate activity
- Protect the website against spam, abuse, fraud, and security threats
- Understand how visitors use the website
- Improve website performance, usability, and content
- Maintain technical and operational records

We do not use information for purposes unrelated to the operation of Wikidesk unless there is a reasonable basis to do so or you have otherwise provided consent where required.
3. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Wikidesk may use cookies or similar technologies to support essential website functions, remember certain preferences, understand website usage, or improve performance.
Cookies are small files stored by a browser on a device. You can generally control or remove cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect how parts of the website function.
If third-party analytics, advertising, embedded content, or other services are used on Wikidesk, those services may place or access cookies according to their own policies.
4. Analytics and Third-Party Services
Wikidesk may use third-party services for purposes such as website analytics, security, hosting, performance monitoring, embedded media, or other technical functions.
These providers may process certain technical information as necessary to provide their services. Their handling of information is governed by their respective privacy policies and terms.
Where practical, Wikidesk seeks to use third-party services in a manner consistent with reasonable privacy and security practices.
5. Information Sharing
Wikidesk does not sell personal information simply because a visitor uses the website.
Information may be shared with service providers or other parties where reasonably necessary to:
- Operate the website
- Provide technical services
- Maintain security
- Respond to legal requests
- Protect the rights or safety of Wikidesk, its users, or others
- Comply with applicable law
Information may also be disclosed where required by a valid legal process or lawful governmental request.
6. Data Security
Wikidesk takes reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, or loss.
However, no website or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Visitors should therefore avoid submitting sensitive information through ordinary website forms unless specifically requested through an appropriate secure channel.
7. External Websites
Wikidesk may contain links to external websites, references, or other online resources.
Wikidesk does not control the privacy practices of those websites. Visiting an external website is subject to that website's own privacy policy and terms.
8. Data Retention
Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, for legitimate operational requirements, or where retention is required by law.
The length of retention may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.
9. Your Choices
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights relating to personal information held about you, including rights to request access, correction, deletion, or information about how your data is handled.
Requests can be made through the Wikidesk contact page.
Wikidesk may need to verify a request before taking action in order to protect users from unauthorized requests.
10. Children's Privacy
Wikidesk is intended to provide general informational content and is not specifically directed at collecting personal information from children.
If you believe a child has provided personal information through the website in circumstances where it should not have been collected, please contact Wikidesk so that the matter can be reviewed.
11. Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time as the website, technology, or applicable requirements change.
When material changes are made, the updated version will be published on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
12. Contact
Questions regarding this Privacy Policy or the handling of information by Wikidesk may be submitted through the Wikidesk contact page.
By continuing to use Wikidesk after an updated Privacy Policy has been published, you acknowledge the updated policy to the extent permitted by applicable law.
