Private Information
We consider publication of certain information to be a privacy violation. Information that we consider to be private include:
- Social Security or national ID numbers (e.g. passport).
- Credit card numbers.
- IP addresses.
- Unlisted/non-public physical addresses, email addresses, or phone numbers.
- Birth dates.
- Passwords.
- Unauthorized, private nude images.
- The malicious publication of unauthorized, identifying images of minors.
If you find private information published on a WordPress.com blog, you can report it through the action bar. Look for three dots in the lower right corner of a site, then click Report this Content. Alternatively, you can fill out this form.
Examples of information which we don’t consider private are:
- Photos of people (with the exception of the above).
- Publicly available physical addresses, email addresses, or phone numbers.
- Names.
Contact information for domains
All domains require valid contact information, but you can purchase private registration so it does not display to the public.
