What the atlas holds, and what it never touches.

Reading the archive

Browsing is anonymous.

The archive is a set of static pages. No advertising loads and no cross-site tracking cookies are set. Cloudflare serves the site and processes ordinary request metadata; its aggregate route counts help the operator understand which rooms are visited without creating a Pitch Atlas reader profile. Pages you open may be cached on your own device so they read offline; that cache is not reported back by the service worker.

Official X, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube players are kept roughly 300 pixels outside the viewport until you approach their card. When one loads, that company's player runs inside the page and behaves as it does on its own site: TikTok's assigns a device identifier, loads its own tracking scripts, and reports playback activity back to TikTok. Pitch Atlas neither controls nor receives any of that, and their privacy terms apply from that moment. With a browser data-saver preference, Pitch Atlas waits for an explicit tap instead. X embeds request its do-not-track mode where supported.

The same is true in the Pitch Atlas iOS app: the reference archive works fully logged out, with no advertising identifiers and no tracking.

Community accounts

An account exists only if you post.

Field Notes and the discussion threads are optional. Accounts and submissions are stored with Supabase, the database service behind the community layer.

Reading notes and threads needs no account. The first time you post, mark a note, or file a report, an anonymous account is created for you: a random ID with no email behind it. You can later claim that account with your email so your notes follow you across devices; in the iOS app you can also sign in with an emailed link or with Sign in with Apple.

Retention and deletion

Your record, your call.

What you file stays in the community record until you remove it, you delete your account, or moderation removes it. You can delete your own discussion posts from the page where they appear.

To delete your account entirely, use the Pitch Atlas iOS app. Open Account, then choose delete account. That removes your community posts, your uploaded media files, and the account itself.

Moderation works on reports: every note and post carries a Report action, reports go to a review queue, and a post reported by enough separate accounts is hidden pending review. Abusive language and rapid-fire posting are blocked at the database, not just the form. The iOS app additionally lets you block another contributor.
