Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 15, 2026

Introduction

This privacy policy explains how WikiTalk handles information when you use our mobile application and related web pages.

We built the WikiTalk application as a free, open-source service for the Wikimedia volunteer and contributor community. This service is provided at no cost and is intended for use as is.

Information Collection and Use

WikiTalk does not collect, store, or sell any personal data or analytics to external parties.

Discussions and talk page contents accessed via the app are publicly available Wikimedia project data retrieved directly from official Wikimedia APIs.

Authentication & Wikimedia OAuth

When you choose to log in with your Wikimedia account, the authentication is handled securely through the official Wikimedia OAuth2 system. WikiTalk does not have access to or store your password. Your access token is stored locally and securely on your own device only to authenticate your discussion posts and replies with Wikimedia servers.

Local Storage & Offline Data

WikiTalk stores discussion threads and draft replies in a local SQLite database exclusively on your device to enable offline reading and drafting. This data never leaves your device unless you choose to post a reply to Wikimedia.

Cookies & Device Tracking

WikiTalk does not use tracking cookies, advertising identifiers, or device fingerprinting.

Children’s Privacy

Our application does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any updates will be posted on this page.
