StudyMap collects minimal data. We track:
++ You do not need an account to use the map, the city pages or the competitions + list. Without one, StudyMap does not keep a profile of you. Page views are + counted by the analytics described below. +
++ Signing in (with an email and password, or with Google) creates an account. + Everything below is stored against that account and is private to it: +
+ These tables are protected so that an account can read, change and delete only + its own rows. The one number that is public is how many accounts saved each + competition; it carries no names. +
+ A place you contribute to the public dataset (through a GitHub issue or pull + request) is public by design: its name, location and category, and your GitHub + username as the contributor. That is separate from the private saved places + above. +
++ “Near me” asks your browser for your location when you press it. The + position is used in your browser to sort places by distance and is not sent to + StudyMap. If you deny the permission, the rest of the map still works. +
+- Contributed places power the public map. Your GitHub username is shown as the - contributor on entries you add. Usage analytics help us see which features - students actually use, so we can improve them. + Signing in sets session cookies so you stay signed in. We do not sell your data + and do not run advertising trackers.
- We do not sell your data, run third-party ad trackers, or require an account to - browse the map. The dataset is open, so anything you contribute is public by - design. + To limit repeated reset emails, we keep a hash of the email address and the time + of each reset request, never the address itself. This record is not linked to an + account.
- You can request to see, edit, or delete your data anytime. Email us and we will - help. + You can edit or delete your saved places, home location, events and saved + competitions yourself in the app. To delete your account, email{" "} + + {CONTACT} + + . Deleting an account removes its saved places, home location, events, saved + competitions and profile answers. You can also write to the same address to ask + what we hold about you.
