The privacy policy states:
Members can add personal information about their living family members, however:
- Profiles that contain information on living people who are not WikiTree members and therefore have not explicitly agreed to our Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy must use our "Unlisted" privacy setting.
- You must not share information regarding a living person without that person’s explicit permission.
- You must not share information about a living child under 16 without parental consent.
- You must not share any information about a living child under 13 unless you are their parent and legal guardian. Even profiles of children created by parents should be considered placeholders only and not contain any sensitive information.
- You must not share any information about DNA tests for other living people.
So, I guess it comes down to what it means to "share" information about a living person. Is posting a profile of a living person "sharing" information about that person? To post the profile of a living person, nowadays, you often have to enter an estimated birth date. Is that considered sharing? I'm looking for some clarity here.
I really enjoy working on Wikitree, and I am trying to make sure that I stay in compliance with the rules.I don't want to violate the privacy policy or honor code. So, help me out here. What is "sharing" exactly?
Does it mean that I can't add someone to the trusted list of a living person without the permission of the person of whom the profile is written? Does it mean I can't send the info to someone else in e-mail?
