APalmer_WMF added a comment to T94807: Identify survey services compatible with our privacy policy.

Just became aware of this task and thought I’d add a little information that I hope will be useful. The task is right - both Qualtrics and allourideas.org have been vetted by Legal. When we review a service in a circumstance like this, we go over their privacy policy, terms of service, and any individual contract we have with the third party in question, to make sure that the protections they offer user data are largely in line with our own. However, we also recognize that we have no control over how they may conduct themselves at all times and under all circumstances. Therefore, in the survey context, when we conduct a survey using a third-party service, we provide notice to survey-takers that the survey is on a third-party website, and we also provide links to the third party’s terms of service and privacy policy. When volunteers run a survey using a WMF-associated account, such as through Qualtrics, we ask them to provide the same notice and links. That way, survey takers can be informed of where/how their information is being handled.

The user names are apalmer and jbuatti. We understand that they are public, but were leery of continuing to use Phabricator to talk about details of access because the site itself will contain sensitive information, which must be kept password protected. In my previous email, I sent you the URL in question. Apologies for the confusion on my end.

They're definitely related, in that access to the same website is the goal. But @siddharth11 had just joined, and I think wasn't certain if LDAP credentials were sufficient to access the site. I checked with @ori when we couldn't get access, and he confirmed that LDAP credentials should work, and said we should open a ticket here.

APalmer_WMF added a comment to T119454: [transparency] Include counts within «Information Produced?».

Apologies for the delay in my response; I was out of the office and did not have access to email. We have chosen to keep the summary chart fairly high-level and brief, so as to give a quick overview. The charts below provide more detailed information, especially the interactive "Requests for user data and how we responded chart". Even if more than one type of request resulted in information being produced, by clicking on the different request types in this chart, you can see the countries whence we received the different types of request, and whether or not information was produced. Additionally, the "Government requests breakdown" provides further information about the origin of requests from government entities.

APalmer_WMF added a comment to T119454: [transparency] Include counts within «Information Produced?».

Ah, okay. Yes, the summary chart indicates that 24 requests did not result in the production of any information, and one request did result in the production of information. More information is shown in the detailed chart on the same page, “Requests for user data, and how we responded”, which breaks down the requests we receive by type and indicates how many requests of each type resulted in information being produced. As that chart indicates, in the time period covered by the most recent report, the request that resulted in information being produced was a court order.

Sure. I’ve taken a look, and I agree with Michelle's assessment. I think that we should continue to use “Information Produced” , since “granted/denied” is a binary answer that doesn’t allow that we may not have responded to the request precisely as it was originally formulated.
