What we ask for
That is not a promise about how we behave. There is no code in this site that can make a request to another service, so it is a thing the software cannot do.
The one thing we ask you for
Your x.com handle, and only so that the links and the request text we show you have your name in them instead of a blank. It is not sent to anyone, it is not written down, and it never travels in a web address, so it cannot turn up in a server log.
We do not check that the handle is yours: the only ways to check would be paying X for access or asking you to post something publicly, and neither was worth its cost. So this tool cannot tell whose name you typed, and it cannot be used to find anything out about anybody, because every handle produces the same page.
Why we hand you links instead of answers
The obvious design would be for our server to check each service and report what it found. We do not do that: asking on your behalf would let anyone point this site at any handle, and it would put our server between you and the answer.
Instead the link is built in the page and you click it. The service you are checking sees your browser and your address, exactly as if you had typed its site in yourself, and we never see what it told you.
What we never do
- We never contact X. Not to check a handle, not to read a timeline, not at all.
- We never contact an archive or a broker, including the ones we tell you to write to. We give you the address and the words; you send it.
- We never submit anything for you. Every removal request is text you read, decide on and send yourself.
- We never build a profile. We read nothing about you, so there is nothing to draw a conclusion from.
