Agent Readiness is a derived signal — a synthesis of two existing cells (Access, Portability) plus one sourced factor (API access), not an independently measured grade. API access scale: Best (2) consumer-grantable API · Moderate (1) partial / encumbered · Restrictive (0) manual export only. What is Agent Readiness?
Reviewed Jun 2026 · policies are checked weekly for changes · stated — every cell is read from Temu's published policy; none has been tested (run by us) yet.
1Accessstated
Access is request-based via a web form / "Your Privacy Choices" page rather than a prominent one-click self-serve download portal; no fee stated.
Temu Privacy Policy & settings · accessed Jun 2026 ↗1Portabilitystated
Policy acknowledges the right to data in a "structured, commonly used and machine-readable format," but there is no widely-advertised official structured-export product (scored conservatively pending verification).
Temu Privacy & Cookie Policy · accessed Jun 2026 ↗1Frictionstated
Request-based form, not instant; consumer reports indicate responses can exceed deadlines (up to ~45 days) with verification steps.
Temu privacy guide (secondary) · accessed Jun 2026 ↗1Deletionstated
Self-serve in-app deletion (You → Settings → Account Security → Delete account) completing within ~7 business days, but residual backup data may persist up to 180 days.
Temu delete-account guide (secondary) · accessed Jun 2026 ↗1Sells / sharesstated
Temu shares personal data with affiliates and third-party advertising partners (may count as a "sale"/"sharing" under US state law) but states it honors a browser GPC signal as a universal opt-out and offers personalization toggles.
Temu — US Residents Privacy Addendum · accessed Jun 2026 ↗1Trains AIstated
Temu's standard policy does not explicitly state it trains its own AI models on personal data, but it does not publish a clear default opt-out either (scored conservatively as unverified).
Temu Privacy & Cookie Policy · accessed Jun 2026 ↗0API access — feeds Agent Readiness, not the /12stated
Temu offers no consumer data API; account data is obtained through a web-based data-subject-request form for access, download or deletion, processed manually.
Temu — Privacy & Cookie Policy · accessed Jun 2026 ↗Temu has faced regulatory scrutiny over data practices; it offers request-based access/deletion and states it honors GPC, but lacks a prominent one-click export portal and several cells rest on secondary sources because the primary policy pages are JS-rendered and resisted direct fetch — scored conservatively. Source-verified Jun 2026; all cells stated (read from published policy/support docs), none yet tested via live export.
