Project policy · people in the atlas

Request about you

Use this route when an atlas record describes you, or when you are authorized to write for the person described. Requests are sent by email, not stored in a public web form.

Request route

Choose the closest category

Each action opens your email client with a category and blank prompts. Add personal details there. Nothing you type is placed in the website address.

Correction

A public name, description, date, location, relationship, role or other record about you is inaccurate or framed unsafely.

Write a correction request

Removal or privacy change

You want a record, relationship, public link or level of identifying detail removed, reduced or reviewed for safety.

Write a removal request

Access

You want to ask what personal information about you appears in the atlas or is held in working correction records, or request a copy for review.

Write an access request

If no email application opens, write to pussynawa@proton.me and put “privacy request” in the subject.

What to include

  1. The public recordIts page link or public display name, if one exists.
  2. Your requested outcomeThe exact text, link, relationship or level of detail you want reviewed.
  3. Your connection to itSay whether you are the person described or are writing with their authorization.
  4. Publication permissionState what facts, if any, may be reflected publicly. The private message itself is not published as a source.
  5. Supporting materialA stable public source helps when available, but it is not required for every first-person privacy correction.

05

How it is handled

The request is reviewed manually against the public record and relevant working provenance. A reply may ask for clarification or a safer public wording. The appropriate change depends on the record, available evidence, identity and safety concerns, and what you authorize for publication.

Private emails, direct messages and screenshots are not added to the public source catalogue. If an agreed factual correction is made, the project can retain a bounded internal record that the change came from a first-person request without publishing the message or its private details.

This guide describes the project's review route. It does not promise a particular result or fixed response period, and it does not replace any rights or remedies that may apply under law.

06

Send only what is needed

Do not send identity documents, a home address, phone number or other sensitive material at the start.

Begin with the public page and requested change. If verification is genuinely needed, the project will ask for the narrowest useful follow-up. Never put private information into an atlas search field or page URL.
