Introduction
At wiki.nixos.org, we regard your privacy as important, same as we regard our own privacy. This policy provides information about how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal data when you interact with our website.
Information We Collect

This includes (but is not limited to) your wiki username, language settings, email address (if provided), a log of all your wiki edits, and the time, date, and associated account of each edit.

- The precise personal information you want us to remove. Providing as many details as possible will help avoid unnecessary correspondence.
- A method for us to verify that the data you wish to have removed indeed belongs to you.
Please note:
- We can't process requests that lack the required information.
- Certain data is essential for the proper functioning of the wiki and, under the legitimate interest provision, will not be removed. This includes your wiki username, for instance.
