Burner directory (on the playa), can entries be deleted now?

[musicmaker]

I entered my information into the "find your friends" directory at Playa Info, (near Center Camp, at one of the computers there).
More info about that service, here: http://www.burningman.com/participate/information.html

I recall that, when creating an entry, there was a checkbox available, which, if checked, would mark your information as available on-playa only, meaning that your record would be deleted from the database at the end of the event.

If a person did NOT check that box, where is their information stored now? Is it still possible to request that their information be deleted?

Thanks very much.

As far as I know, it's gone after the event.

I think it would be useful to access after the event, but not possible, last I heard.

Yeah, that information doesn't actually go anywhere post event (that I'm aware of). I suspect the checkbox was part of some initial default/setup of whatever software's in use, and when it was originally created there was some grand idea to eventually put it up on the site someplace. I've been participating since 2004, and have never seen that actually happen.

That's what *they* want you to think.

Where do *you* think the information goes, Bob?
