Being hosted in Germany and belonging to a German non-profit organization, the FeministWiki is also bound by European and German law with regard to respecting user data and privacy.


=== Who runs the site? ===
=== Who runs the site? ===


The site was set up by [[FW:Technician|a male computer programmer]] who wanted to do volunteer work for the radical feminist movement (and also train his server administration skills).  For now, he prefers not to reveal his real-life identity, to deter abuse from anti-feminists.  He is well aware of the repeated scandals surrounding "male feminists" and has no expectation of gaining the trust of all members. As such, he tries to create an open and well-documented infrastructure that should be easy to replicate by any other IT specialist in case something goes wrong. Also, the site does not expect members to provide any personal information.  (See also the previous section.)  This way, members shouldn't ''need'' to put trust in whoever is running the site, as they could take things under their own control if needed.
The platform is offered by the German non-profit company '''FeministWiki gemeinnützige UG (haftungsbeschränkt)''' or FeministWiki gUG for short.  The founder of the non-profit and administrator of the website is male computer programmer [https://twitter.com/KammerTaylan Taylan Kammer], who also goes by [https://spinster.xyz/@socjuswiz Social Justice Wizard] on Spinster.
 
"Trust is good, control is better." -- German idiom, commonly attributed to Vladimir Lenin
