Now the "privacy policy" is based on U.S. law ( https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Privacy_policy ) and as I know this is not a GDPR friendly. *"The Wikimedia Foundation is a non-profit organization based in San Francisco, California, with servers and data centers located in the U.S. If you decide to use Wikimedia Sites, whether from inside or outside of the U.S., you understand that your Personal Information will be collected, transferred, stored, processed, disclosed and otherwise used in the U.S. as described in this Privacy Policy."* IMHO: - for most EU people will be enough a GDPR friendly ".eu" wikidata query service mirror - adding extra noise for the wikidata query is not an environmentally friendly solution. best, Imre Darius Runge <darius-ru...@magenta.de> ezt írta (időpont: 2022. jan. 29., Szo, 13:44): > Dear all, > > I started using WikiData for Private Information Retrieval.
