At bdwashdata, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal data when you use our mobile application for data collection related to Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) initiatives.

Nature of the Application and Account Management

bdwashdata is an organization-managed application intended for internal and humanitarian field operations related to Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) services.

User accounts are created, managed, and deactivated exclusively by authorized administrators through a secure web-based system. End users cannot self-register, create, or delete accounts within the mobile application. For account-related requests, users must contact their designated administrator.

GPS location (for geo-tagged data collection)
Location data is collected only during active user actions such as form submission and is not used for continuous or background tracking.
