The concern that most people have regarding Twitter, as well as other social media platforms, is whether their private data is safe. If you have ever wondered ‘Does Twitter collect my private data?’, the answer is yes. Here is what you need to know as it will help you stay safe while navigating the site.
The first question that probably came to your mind upon the discovery is why the site would collect your
information.
Do you remember that page that often comes up after you sign up for something and you tick on
‘I have read and understood the terms of agreement’ or other wording that points to the same thing? Well, it
turns out that you should not be so fast in giving these permissions as you need to consider what it is that
you are giving the site control to do.
Some people are okay with this collection, and some are not. Before you decide whether you would prefer to
let the site continue with data collection or you want to put a stop to this, here is what you need to know.
Not only does the site remember what trends you have followed as well as what is on your bio, it goes a step
further in looking into what devices you have used in the past. If you used a laptop in the past to access
your feed, trust that this information is available to companies who have access to the data.
