Twitter Updates Data-Sharing Settings - Removes Control

Twitter: An update to your data-sharing settings (Partnerships, last updated April 6, 2020)

The control you have over what information Twitter shares with its business partners has changed. Specifically, your ability to control mobile app advertising measurements has been removed, but you can control whether to share some non-public data to improve Twitter’s marketing activities on other sites and apps. These changes, which help Twitter to continue operating as a free service, are reflected now in your settings. Learn more.

Twitter may share this information with these partners before you’ve signed up for Twitter (e.g. when you first open the app before creating an account) as disclosed prior to download in the Twitter app description in the App Store and Google Play, but does not offer you control over this data sharing until after you’ve created a Twitter account. Once you’ve created a Twitter account, if your Allow additional information sharing with business partners setting is disabled Twitter will not thereafter share with these partners the non-public personal information described above. Separately, you may be able to control how these partners use this data by exercising privacy choices as described in their privacy policies linked above. For Twitter customers who signed up prior to the last updated date above and who are located in the European Union, an EFTA State, or the United Kingdom, Twitter does not currently share this information with these partners as described above even if your Allow additional information sharing with business partners setting is enabled.
