Privacy Policy

Summary

Xarchive is a tool for browsing archived social media snapshots. We aim to collect as little personal data as possible while keeping the service reliable.

Information you provide

When you use the tools, you may submit inputs such as usernames or URLs. We process these inputs to query the Wayback Machine and generate results and exports.

Information we may collect automatically

• Basic logs: like most websites, our hosting provider may collect standard server logs (e.g., IP address, user agent, timestamps, and request paths) for security and debugging.
• Analytics: we use Vercel Analytics to understand aggregated usage (e.g., page views and performance) so we can improve the product.

Third-party services

Xarchive communicates with third-party services to provide functionality:

• Internet Archive / Wayback Machine: used to retrieve CDX snapshot data and archived URLs.
• X (Twitter) embed services: if you use tweet previews, your browser may load resources from platform.twitter.com, and our servers may request embed markup from publish.twitter.com.

These third parties may process data under their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review their terms if you use those features.

Data retention

We do not intentionally store the usernames or URLs you submit beyond what is needed to fulfill requests, but operational logs and analytics may be retained for a limited time by our hosting/analytics providers.
