1. Introduction and Scope

This Privacy Policy describes how Twitter Atlas ("the Service," "we," "us," or "our"), operated by Tiago.zip, processes personal data in connection with the operation of the Service. The Service is subject to the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR") and Lei n.° 58/2019. As operator of the Service, we act as the data controller.

This Policy covers two categories of personal data processing: (1) visitor data collected from users who access the Service, and (2) indexed profile data sourced from the Twitter/X platform and displayed within the Service.

2. Data Controller

Please use the contact email at the bottom of this document to send a data controller request.

3. Visitor Data

3.1 What We Collect

When you access the Service, the following data is automatically collected by our infrastructure and third-party processors: IP address, browser user agent, referring URL, pages visited and timestamps, and error and performance data. The Service does not require account creation and may use cookies for tracking or personalisation.

3.2 Legal Basis

We process visitor data on the basis of our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) in maintaining the security, stability, and performance of the Service, diagnosing technical errors, and understanding aggregate usage patterns.

3.3 Retention

Visitor logs processed by Cloudflare are retained for up to 30 days. Aggregate anonymised analytics data may be retained indefinitely.

4. Indexed Profile Data

4.1 What We Process

The Service displays publicly available Twitter/X profile information provided to us by Twitter.cat, an associated data archival service, which derived this data from information publicly accessible on the Twitter/X platform at the time of collection. This includes profile identifiers, account metadata, social graph proximity data, and computed metrics generated by our own algorithms. Only information that was publicly accessible at the time of collection is included in the index.

4.2 Legal Basis

We process indexed profile data on the basis of our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) in providing a tool for research, journalism, and education concerning the structure of online social networks. In conducting our legitimate interests assessment, we have had regard to the following: the data was publicly available; we do not process sensitive categories of personal data as a primary purpose; the Service is non-commercial and contains no advertising; and we provide a voluntary opt-out mechanism. We also note the applicability of Article 85 GDPR and Article 24 of Law n.° 58/2019 in respect of processing for research and journalistic purposes.

We do not use indexed profile data to make automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects on any individual within the meaning of Article 22 GDPR.

4.3 Retention

The index reflects a static snapshot. Accounts subject to a verified opt-out request will be suppressed from display within 3 calendar months of receipt and excluded from subsequent index updates.

5. Opt-Out Mechanism

We operate a voluntary opt-out mechanism for individuals who do not wish to have their account information displayed on the Service. To submit a request, send an email to legal@tiago.zip with the subject line "[Atlas] Opt-Out request" and include your Twitter/X handle and proof of ownership. Verified requests will be processed within 1 month or within up to 3 calendar months of receipt, suppressing display of your profile card and excluding your account from subsequent index updates.

Opt-out requests do not affect data you have published on the Twitter/X platform, which remains subject to X Corp.'s own terms and privacy settings.

6. Data Processors

We engage third-party service providers (data processors) to assist in delivering the Service. These processors are authorized to process your data only to the extent necessary to perform their functions and are contractually obligated to adhere to strict data protection standards.
