1
00:00:00,500 --> 00:00:01,833
Do you have a Wiki Minute

2
00:00:01,900 --> 00:00:04,267
to learn 
how Wikipedia protects readers’ privacy?

3
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:06,533
You may have heard 
about websites and apps

4
00:00:06,733 --> 00:00:09,100
that track visitors like you 
and sell their data

5
00:00:09,233 --> 00:00:10,300
and private information.

6
00:00:10,467 --> 00:00:12,633
That is not the case with Wikipedia.

7
00:00:13,433 --> 00:00:16,067
Wikipedia’s goal is for people 
to be able to share

8
00:00:16,133 --> 00:00:18,067
and access knowledge freely and safely.

9
00:00:18,367 --> 00:00:22,567
To do that, the Wikimedia Foundation, 
the nonprofit behind Wikipedia,

10
00:00:22,700 --> 00:00:25,367
keeps privacy at the center 
of everything they do.

11
00:00:26,333 --> 00:00:29,300
Because people cannot contribute 
what they know and learn from others

12
00:00:29,467 --> 00:00:31,633
if they are afraid 
of being tracked by ads or spied on;

13
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,200
if they fear censorship; 
or if they fear for their digital safety.

14
00:00:36,067 --> 00:00:39,867
Wikipedia collects very little information 
about readers and contributors,

15
00:00:39,933 --> 00:00:41,133
and never sells their data.

16
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,533
It also does not require anyone 
to create an account.

17
00:00:44,867 --> 00:00:47,900
In a world 
where personal data has become a currency,

18
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,333
privacy is worth every penny.

19
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,700
And this is 
how Wikipedia protects readers’ privacy,

20
00:00:53,900 --> 00:00:55,067
in only a minute!
