Privacy Policy

Short story:

  • Soupcan does not track you on Twitter, read any tweets, or keep access to your account except to verify your identity.
  • This includes the self-report functionality at https://api.beth.lgbt/add/me which you can use to add yourself to the redlist.

Long story:

Because Elon’s API pricing change means that you have to pay $100/month for anything other than a write-only and login-able API, the Soupcan’s usage of the Twitter API is limited to authenticating your user. This is despite it saying it can read all your tweets and view users (these are just the scopes tweet.read and user.read which are required for getting your user page.)

Your user ID (e.g. 1489387160885071873) and/or username (e.g. @bethylamine) may be stored in a backend database for identification purposes, e.g. to validate who is making reports and the actions they are taking with the extension that send data to the server.

All of this is publicly available information, and nothing is stored related to your username/ID except that which is necessary to provide functionality for the service (reports, appeals, etc.)

This data is transmitted securely through https to backend storage which is encrypted at rest.
