What personal information do we collect from users and why?

Management of personal information.

​

We aim to provide you with an easy solution to update or delete your information, through the user management section on the dashboard. When updating your information, you will be required to log into the database to prove your identify. It is the role of the agency admin for each agency to oversee the information of its users and to ensure that the information is kept up to date. If you wish to remove your account but have data added within the system, we kindly request that you “retire” your account.

​​

Sharing Personal Information.

​

Madzi Alipo will not share the personal details of users with companies, organisations or individuals outside of the Madzi Alipo Database without their consent. As part of the end user agreement each user within the system agrees to abide by this rule and not share the personal information of any individual outside of the MA system without consent. We may need to disclose your information if required to by law.

Water Point Data:

​

What water point data do we collect and store from the app?

​

• Contact details of committee members will be collected and stored, linking individuals to water points to assist in the monitoring of the water point status. These will be uploaded by agencies when given with informed verbal consent and viewing these details will be limited to those working in water point repair, monitoring, and maintenance.

​

• Photos and images uploaded via the app can be viewed on both the app and the central database having been obtained with informed verbal consent. Through using the app, the user consents to having the photos uploaded, available and viewable by other database users.

​

How do we use this information?

​

The data is used to inform and enable the work of the Madzi Alipo project and other agencies working across the globe as they seek to ensure that people around the world have access to safe, clean drinking water. It will be used in the maintenance and monitoring of water points as a planning tool, to gain understanding of the real time situation of water points on the ground. Additionally, agency information provides a useful map of where resources are being deployed, to help maximize resources and communications between agencies.
