 > The main point is that it needs to be declared what data sent to where,
 who has access to it, and for what purpose.

 That's the plan. 🙂

 > The following people have access to the data: core contributors (? I
 don't actually know, but would love to)

 I'm going to take a wild guess and say that there won't be a list of which
 specific individuals have access. 😉

 > and for what purpose, ie: how is the data used to inform whatever
 decision it is informing.

 Also part of the plan!

 > is this ticket only going to be about wording of the privacy policy

 This ticket is only to track implementation of the privacy policy, exact
 wording is up to the lawyers. As programmers, we get to leave it in their
 expert hands, as it should be. 🙂

 > will there be revisions to how the .org infrastructure handles data as
 well?

 The Systems team doesn't follow Core Trac, but is aware of GDPR
 requirements. The current advice I have is that there are no changes to
 need to .org infrastructure at the moment.
