Privacy policy

WordPress.org websites (collectively “WordPress.org” in this document) refer to sites hosted on the WordPress.org, WordPress.net, WordCamp.org, BuddyPress.org, bbPress.org, and other related domains and subdomains thereof. This privacy policy describes how WordPress.org uses and protects any information that you give us. We are committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. If you provide us with personal information through WordPress.org, you can be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this privacy statement.

Website visitors

Like most website operators, WordPress.org collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. WordPress.org’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how WordPress.org’s visitors use its website. From time to time, WordPress.org may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

WordPress.org also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. WordPress.org does not use IP addresses to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.

Gathering of personally-identifying information

Ορισμένοι επισκέπτες του WordPress.org επιλέγουν να αλληλεπιδρούν με το WordPress.org με τρόπους που απαιτούν από το WordPress.org τη συλλογή προσωπικών πληροφοριών ταυτοποίησης. Το ποσό και ο τύπος των πληροφοριών που συλλέγει το WordPress.org εξαρτάται από τη φύση της αλληλεπίδρασης. Για παράδειγμα, ζητάμε από τους επισκέπτες που χρησιμοποιούν τα φόρουμ μας να παρέχουν ένα όνομα χρήστη και μια διεύθυνση ηλεκτρονικού ταχυδρομείου.

In each case, WordPress.org collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with WordPress.org. WordPress.org does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities, like purchasing a WordCamp ticket.

All of the information that is collected on WordPress.org will be handled in accordance with GDPR legislation.

Protection of certain personally-identifying information

WordPress.org discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of project administrators, employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on WordPress.org’s behalf or to provide services available through WordPress.org, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using WordPress.org, you consent to the transfer of such information to them.

WordPress.org will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to project administrators, employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations, as described above, WordPress.org discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, if you give permission to have your information shared, or when WordPress.org believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of WordPress.org, third parties, or the public at large.

If you are a registered user of a WordPress.org website and have supplied your email address, WordPress.org may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with WordPress.org and our products. We primarily use our blog to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum.

If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. WordPress.org takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Χρήση προσωπικών πληροφοριών

We will not use the information you provide when you register for an account, attend our events, receive newsletters, use certain other services, or participate in the WordPress open source project in any other way.

We will not sell or lease your personal information to third parties unless we have your permission or are required by law to do so.

Διατήρηση προσωπικών πληροφοριών

Θα διατηρήσουμε τα προσωπικά σας στοιχεία στα συστήματά μας μόνο για όσο χρονικό διάστημα χρειάζεται, για την επιτυχία του έργου ανοιχτού κώδικα WordPress και των προγραμμάτων που υποστηρίζουν το WordPress.org. Διατηρούμε τα στοιχεία επικοινωνίας (όπως πληροφορίες λίστας αλληλογραφίας) μέχρι να διαγραφεί ένας χρήστης ή να ζητήσει να διαγράψουμε αυτές τις πληροφορίες από τα ενεργά συστήματά μας. Εάν επιλέξετε να διαγραφείτε από μια λίστα αλληλογραφίας, ενδέχεται να διατηρήσουμε ορισμένες περιορισμένες πληροφορίες σχετικά με εσάς, ώστε να μπορέσουμε να ικανοποιήσουμε το αίτημά σας.

WordPress.org will not delete personal data from logs or records necessary to the operation, development, or archives of the WordPress open source project.

Το WordPress.org θα διατηρεί δεδομένα συμμετεχόντων στο WordCamp για 3 χρόνια για να παρακολουθεί καλύτερα και να ενθαρρύνει την ανάπτυξη της κοινότητας και, στη συνέχεια, θα διαγράφει αυτόματα μη ουσιώδη δεδομένα που συλλέγονται μέσω της εγγραφής. Τα ονόματα των συμμετεχόντων και οι διευθύνσεις ηλεκτρονικού ταχυδρομείου θα διατηρηθούν επ’ αόριστον, για να διατηρηθεί η ικανότητά μας να ανταποκρινόμαστε σε αναφορές κώδικα δεοντολογίας.

On WordCamp.org sites, banking/financial data collected as part of a reimbursement request is deleted from WordCamp.org 7 days after the request is marked paid. The reason for the 7-day retention period is to prevent organizers having to re-enter their banking details if a wire fails or if a payment was marked “Paid” in error. Invoices and receipts related to WordCamp expenses are retained for 7 years after the close of the calendar year’s audit, by instruction of our financial consultants (auditors & bookkeepers).

When deletion is requested or otherwise required, we will anonymise the data of data subjects and/or remove their information from publicly accessible sites if the deletion of data would break essential systems or damage the logs or records necessary to the operation, development, or archival records of the WordPress open source project.
