Prevent the wiping of data

When I wipe data, I was assuming it would have been the stuff in /data/data, not the SD card.
How do I prevent this from happening?
Thanks.

Your app data and such does not get stored on the "sdcard" it is stored on the /data partition..... so yes, when you wipe data you will lose that stuff (unless you manually back it up prior).....
Wipe data is the same as Factory Data Reset....

That's what I thought, but it's strange. When I flash a new ROM, I lose that external data. If I don't wipe data, then it stays, but I usually cannot boot the ROM up as it hangs. Then, when I wipe data, it's gone.
For example, I have externally downloaded data at /sdcard/com.alk.copilot.namarket.premiumusa.
If I flash from a 4.1 to 4.3 (or 4.3 to 4.1), I seem to lose the data. I have to always redownload my maps. I never had this issue under my OG RAZR MAXX, only under the RAZR HD.
Thanks for any ideas as to what might be causing this.
