This dedicated group of individuals not only writes and curates content on the Sites, they also help ensure the safety of the Sites and its users as well as compliance with applicable policies. To manage this immense task effectively, certain community members are entrusted with access to limited amounts of nonpublic personal information regarding other users ("Nonpublic Personal Data"). For example, a community member who has "checkuser" rights could use those rights to investigate whether a single user is using multiple accounts in a manner inconsistent with Wikimedia policies.
