Data deletion in DasoMaps

Applies to DasoMaps and its dmaps variant

Courtesy translation. This document is an English translation of the Spanish original (Eliminación de datos). In the event of any discrepancy or doubt about interpretation, the Spanish version prevails.

DasoMaps, developed by Jose Bengoa, does not require you to create an account to be used. For that reason there is no "delete my account", but you can delete your data in two ways, depending on where it is stored.

1. Data you can delete yourself, directly from the app

Most of your data is generated on, and stays on, your own device, and you can delete it at any time without needing to contact us:

Location, geometries, tracks and local layers: delete them from their respective lists within the app, or uninstall the app to remove everything at once
Anonymous identifier (UUID) and nick: Tools > User > Delete
Water points and photos you have contributed yourself: from the water point's page, if you contributed it, you have the option to delete it
Daso-routes you have shared with the community: from the "User routes" list, you can delete your own at any time

2. Data that only we can delete, at your request

As there are no accounts or login, we cannot automatically verify your identity for this data — we rely on the description you give us in order to locate it. Write to us at:

hola@dasomaps.com

Stating that you use DasoMaps (or dmaps) and, so that we can locate your data:

What you want us to delete (for example: "a feedback comment I sent", "a photo of a water point", "my usage logs")
The approximate date on which you sent or uploaded it
Anything that helps to identify it: the nick you used (if you set one), the geographic area of the water point or route, or the text of the comment

We will reply and delete the data within a maximum of 30 days.

3. What is deleted and what is kept
