Certain visitors to WordPress choose to interact with WordPress in ways that require WordPress to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that WordPress gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who use our forums to provide a username and email address.

In each case, WordPress collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with WordPress. WordPress does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
