Description Brion Vibber 2011-10-26 23:40:26 UTC 
It would be good to show the privacy policy about use of the user's location data before doing a geo lookup with the 'nearby' feature -- especially if we're running the queries through a third-party service that's not even run by Wikimedia.

This should probably have at least a link and a click-through, and be able to get back to it eg from the menu when viewing the nearby list.
Comment 1 Phil Chang 2011-12-23 23:09:02 UTC 
Good point. At the moment, we have no privacy policy, according to Kelly. It will be a few months until one is ready. I think. We do need to ask the user if using the current location is ok, which I hope is the case.
Comment 2 Phil Chang 2011-12-23 23:30:54 UTC 
Yes, we ask permission during installation, which is the normal workflow on Android.

Does GeoNames have a privacy policy?

I tried and failed to find it.
Comment 5 Phil Chang 2012-01-23 23:02:23 UTC 
Closing for now.
Comment 6 Andre Klapper 2012-12-14 11:13:30 UTC 
[Closing as "WONTFIX" to get rid of the deprecated "LATER" resolution]
