Wikipedia Pakistan (“we”, “us”) collects only the information needed to run verified profile pages. This privacy policy explains what we collect, why, and your rights.
What we collect
When you apply for a profile, sign up or contact us, we collect the details you give us: your name, date and place of birth, email address, and the profile information you submit (photos, biography, career and social links). If you ask for a verified profile or a blue tick, we may ask for identity proof such as your CNIC or an official document, which is used only to check that the profile is genuine. When you sign in with Google, Facebook or X, we receive your name, email address and profile picture from that provider, as needed to create your account.
How we use it
We use your information to create and maintain your public profile page, to check that profiles are genuine, to process blue-tick requests and payments, to reply to your messages, and to keep the site secure. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not send marketing messages unless you ask us to.
Cookies and caching
We use cookies to keep you signed in and to remember your preferences, and caching to make the site fast. When you sign in with a social provider, that provider may set its own cookies under its own policy.
Who we share it with
Only your public profile information appears on the site. Identity documents are never published. We share data only where needed to run the service: with the social provider you choose to sign in with, and with our hosting and payment providers, who may process it only on our instructions.
How long we keep it
We keep your profile and account information while your profile is published. Identity documents are kept on file while your profile is verified, so we can re-check it if needed, and deleted if your profile is removed.
Your rights
You can update your profile from your dashboard at any time. You can ask for a copy of the data we hold about you, or for us to correct or delete it, by contacting us through the Contact Us page. We will respond to genuine requests promptly.
Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. The date of the latest update is shown below.
