I want to delete my account for months...
 
Hi!

My N900 is dead after 1.5 year (no GSM contact), now i want to be deleted from the whole maemo.org.
I've read the threads about deleting: this and this too, but is didn't helped. I wrote emails too to the admins (exmpl) but no answer.
How can I be deleted? :confused:

Thank you!!!


The further I read the forum, but I do not want to remain a registered member.

Log out and don't log in any more. Solved.

You make it to easy.....
Most of the European privacy protection laws enforce the user's
right to know what data about him are stored by a particular
entity and ON REQUEST the right to delete said data.
Best would be to add a "Delete account" button to maemo.org's
profile because sooner or later this will cause trouble.

I guess if you want to be able to delete your account you should, but having a GSM contract is not a requirement for the N900 to be useful.

Its a good point. The site is owned by Nokia and as such is subject to Nokia's privacy policy

http://maemo.org/legal/privacy_policy/

Its perfectly reasonable to demand that any information Nokia hold should be deleted and disregarded, especially for marketing purposes.

However, from Nokia's point of view, anyone who signs up to the site has expressly agreed to the terms of the policy so you may find it difficult to rescind the contract. Maybe worth pursuing if you have the time/patience/reason.

From the Privacy Policy:
"You have the right at any time to review any and all of your Personal Information stored by Nokia. Further, you have the right, at any time, to ask Nokia to remove some or all of your Personal Information and to prohibit Nokia or its third-party designees from using any Personal Information submitted by or collected from you. "

So please, Nokia rather than compell people "to ask you to remove" their
user account, provide a simple "delete my account" button.

Eventually you can write to:

Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman
PO Box 315
FIN-00181 Helsinki
Tel. (358-9) 182 51

Thank You guys! You helped a lot, I am beholden to you!

I decided to wait a week. After that - when nothing will change - I'm going to write to Nokia and thereafter to the ombudsman.

To be on the safe side, consider asking Google to remove you from their cached copy of TMO also.

What has Nokia to say about this? This is not a Nokia site. :)
What about to writing to the President of Kuba about this Topic? :cool:
Or ask santa clause if he could get you a iPhone?
