When you create an account here on The iPhone Wiki, you are required to input your email address. This email address is for password retrieval, and messages/notifications that you request. (These notifications can be enabled or disabled at will on your preferences.) The email address you have shared with The iPhone Wiki will not be given out to advertisers, and can be changed at any time. Any previously-entered email addresses will not be stored on the server in a known way.
When you submit content for publishing, this content will remain on the server, probably indefinitely. In addition, it will forever be accessible to the public until "deleted." If content is "deleted" from the wiki, it will not be accessible to the public. However, the content will still remain on the server, and certain power users (known as "sysops") will continue to have access to such information. This content remains on the server so in the event that content is accidentally deleted, the content can be restored. Sysops may look at, but will not maliciously utilize, any "deleted" content at their discretion.
Content hosted on The iPhone Wiki may also be subject to protection. If content is protected, it will continue to be accessible to the public. However, only sysops will be capable of modifying the content, until either (a) the page is unprotected, or (b) the protection expires (if an expiration date was set for the protection).
Sysops are unable to look up identifiable information, including but not limited to: your email address, your IP address, your location, or your password. However, they may still ban you based on your IP address. If you are banned, your content will still be available on The iPhone Wiki, until the content is deleted.
