How to delete your Loplat account

About deleting your Loplat account

Loplat is a South Korean location-based service provider that specializes in high-accuracy Wi-Fi fingerprinting and real-time location analytics. Developers and businesses utilize the Loplat API to determine user proximity to physical points of interest, facilitating context-aware mobile experiences and targeted marketing based on localized movement patterns.

Users may seek to delete their Loplat accounts for several reasons related to data minimization and development lifecycle management:

• Transitioning away from location-based analytics services to reduce reliance on third-party tracking.
• Ending project development that utilized Loplat’s infrastructure to improve privacy compliance.
• Reducing the potential for aggregate location data leakage within proprietary mobile applications.

What happens to your data

When you request the deletion of your Loplat developer account, the platform typically initiates a purge of your dashboard credentials and associated project configurations. Because Loplat processes sensitive spatial data, they maintain rigorous protocols regarding what is scrubbed versus what is retained for administrative compliance.

• Account Metadata: Your login credentials, registered company details, and API configuration history are generally removed from the production database.
• API Keys: Once revoked, your unique authentication tokens are invalidated, preventing further data ingestion or query calls to their location servers.
• Location Data: While developer account metadata is removed, Loplat may retain anonymized logs necessary for auditing or legal compliance as required by South Korean privacy statutes.
• Operational Backups: Like many enterprise SaaS providers, data may persist in encrypted off-site backups for a limited retention period before being permanently overwritten.

Privacy considerations

Using a platform like Loplat involves handling PII (Personally Identifiable Information) indirectly through location signatures. Since Loplat tracks device proximity to Wi-Fi access points, the privacy risks involve the potential for reconstructing user movement histories if not handled according to strict data governance standards.

• Data Minimization: Always ensure you are not sending unnecessary user identifiers through the Loplat API calls.
• Consent Management: If you use Loplat in your own apps, ensure your end-users explicitly consent to location tracking, as required by both GDPR and South Korean privacy regulations.
• Regular Audits: Periodically review your Loplat project settings to ensure that your API usage matches your stated privacy policy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will deleting my Loplat account immediately stop all API requests?

Yes, revoking your API keys and deleting your account terminates the connection, preventing any further data from being sent to Loplat servers from your integrated applications.

Does Loplat delete the location data collected by my end-users?

Loplat’s deletion of your developer account removes your access and your project's data, but you must ensure your own application handles the deletion of end-user data on your end.

Can I recover my Loplat project settings after deletion?

No, account deletion is generally a permanent action. You would need to recreate your projects and re-configure your API settings from scratch if you return.

Is there a specific protocol for revoking keys before deletion?

Yes, manually revoking keys in the Loplat console ensures that no hanging requests remain, which helps in preventing unexpected errors in your production mobile applications.

Does Loplat store my business information after I delete my account?

Due to South Korean corporate tax and record-keeping laws, Loplat may retain certain transaction-related records even after you close your technical developer account.

How long does the Loplat account deletion process take?

Usually, the removal of your project credentials occurs in real-time within the developer console, though the permanent scrubbing of backend logs may take several business days.
