Uncyclopedia:Personally identifiable information
 | This is an essay. It is not an ignorable policy on Uncyclopedia, so you should ignore it even more and disregard the mad ramblings of its writer. Or you could submit it as an Uncycloversity assignment in lieu of doing any actual work. |
Here at Uncyclopedia, no one can stop you from disclosing information. However, it may be dangerous to let certain types of information out. Personally identifiable information (PII), as defined here, should be blurred out using the Revision Delete function by admins; users may report pages containing PII to admins. Admins will always blur out information if requested by the person who wrote said information; however, please note that this may not be 100% effective, since there might be web crawlers archiving these pages.
Please note that all pages on Uncyclopedia are publicly accessible, with practically no exceptions. The only pages that are actively blocked from public view are special pages, such as the abuse filter management page.
TL;DR: Only post information that you're okay with someone else finding out in ten years here.
What you can say
Please note that this page isn't exhaustive.
- Your first name, if it is relatively common (top 1,000 names is usually a good limit);

- Your spoken languages;
- Your job (so long as it is common);
- Your country;
- Whether you're attending college/university or no;
- Your favorite Uncyclopedia page;
- Whether you use GNU/Linux or no;
- Your age, but only if it's above 20.
What you could say, after thinking once or twice

- Your birthday, excluding the year;
- The country subdivision (e.g. province, state, prefecture, etc.) you live in;

What you should not say

- Anyone else's PII.
Administrative disclosure of personally identifiable information
Administrators should take particular care to not disclose any personally identifiable information via public channels. Do not insert personally identifiable information onto Uncyclopedia itself.
