The digital representations called *digital twins* in Azure Digital Twins represent entities in real-world environments, and are associated with identifiers. Microsoft maintains no information and has no access to data that would allow identifiers to be correlated to users.

Many of the digital twins in Azure Digital Twins don't directly represent personal entities—typical objects represented might be an office meeting room, or a factory floor. However, users may consider some entities to be personally identifiable, and at their discretion may maintain their own asset or inventory tracking methods that tie digital twins to individuals. Azure Digital Twins manages and stores all data associated with digital twins as if it were personal data.

Azure Digital Twins is a developer platform for creating secure digital representations of business environments. It can be used to store information about people and places, and works with [Azure Active Directory](../active-directory/fundamentals/active-directory-whatis.md) to identify users and administrators with access to the environment. To view, export, and delete personal data that may be referenced in a data subject request, an Azure Digital Twins administrator can use the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com/) for users and roles, or the [Azure Digital Twins REST APIs](/rest/api/azure-digitaltwins/) for digital twins. The Azure portal and REST APIs provide different methods for users to service such data subject requests.

Azure Digital Twins considers *personal data* to be data associated with its administrators and users.

Azure Digital Twins stores the [Azure Active Directory](../active-directory/fundamentals/active-directory-whatis.md) **object ID** of users with access to the environment. Azure Digital Twins in the Azure portal displays user email addresses, but these email addresses aren't stored within Azure Digital Twins. They're dynamically looked up in Azure Active Directory, using the Azure Active Directory object ID.
