As per usual in the world of websites and online services, Twitter has updated its privacy policy. However, this comes with the unfortunate side-effect of the web service providing its users’ information to advertisers. While this might sound inconvenient, we’ll walk you through some steps that you can take to enhance your privacy in lieu of this change.
There are three major changes to Twitter’s privacy policy that you’ll want to consider, especially if your employees or your organization take advantage of Twitter for any reason. These changes are:
Even though the change doesn’t happen for a while, you’ll still want to take advantage of this time to make the requisite changes to your account settings. This helps you avoid forgetting about them in the future. To change these settings, go to Settings > Settings and privacy > Privacy and safety > Personalization and data. At the top of this page, click the slider that says Disable all. You’ll have to do the same thing for the mobile application.
Furthermore, if you’re just curious to see how your data is being used, you can see this in Twitter’s settings. If you’re using the app, just scroll down to the bottom of the Personalization and data page to find the See your Twitter data option. While you can view or edit your profile, the most interesting data will be found in Your Data. This shows what Twitter assumes about you, and you can even edit them to ensure that Twitter doesn’t lump you in with groups that you’re not particularly fond of, like putting pineapple on pizza. The most interesting part of this is that you can even have Twitter send you a list of the advertisers with whom they’ve shared your information.
