Should a user want to modify and/or delete their data, they can do so directly in the sqlite-file. No other copies of the data exists, unless the user made them.

## Sharing Collected Data
In case users are running PersonalAnalytics during a scientific study, the researchers might ask the users (or in this context, participants) to share their data with the reseachers. To that purpose, we recommend using the built-in data obfuscation and export feature, which allows users to understand what the data will be used for as part of the research project, review the collected data and decide which data they want to share and/or obfuscate. Afterwards, an encrypted and password-protected export-file is created which can be shared with the researchers per their instructions. The data export tool can be accessed by clicking "Export Data" in the taskbar icon (on Windows) or menubar (on macOS).

## Note on Using PersonalAnalytics
Note that the creators of PersonalAnalytics can in no way be held liable against use, misuse or problems that arise from using the app. The app was developed as a public, open-source application that can be freely used and extended (with [correct attribution](https://github.com/HASEL-UZH/PersonalAnalytics/blob/main/documentation/RESEARCH.md). The researchers are responsible for informing users (or participants) of the usage of PersonalAnalytics, collected data and usage of any data that is shared with researchers, as well as data privacy and data security.
