Access and privacy
Access: Free
Open-source application and plugin ecosystem; some transforms may depend on external services.
Privacy sensitivity: Sensitive
Graph investigations can combine sensitive identifiers and relationship data. Prefer local processing, minimize retained case data, and review every plugin network call.
Responsible use
- Read which modules are passive and which actively query or scan targets.
- Document scope before running automated collection.
- Store case data securely; these platforms often keep everything they collect.
