Full X Privacy Policy...

Before you scroll, read this

It’s really hard to make everyone happy with a Privacy Policy. Most people who use 

Twitter want something short and easy to understand. While we wish we could fit 

everything you need to know into a Tweet, our regulators ask us to meet our legal 

obligations by describing them all in a lot of detail.With that in mind, we’ve written our 

Privacy Policy as simply as possible to empower you to make informed decisions when 

you use Twitter by making sure you understand and have control over the information 

we collect, how it’s used, and when it’s shared. So if you skip reading every word of the 

Privacy Policy, at least know this:

What data do you collect about me?

You give some data, we get some data. In return we offer useful 

services. Not what you had in mind? Check your settings.

1. Information We Collect

The information we collect when you use Twitter falls into three categories.

1.1 Information you provide us.

To use some of our products and services you need to have an account, and to create 

an account, you need to provide us certain information. Likewise, if you use our paid 

products and services, we cannot provide them to you without getting payment 

information. Basically, certain information is necessary if you want to use many of our 

products and services.

• Personal Accounts. If you create an account, you must provide us with some 

information so that we can provide our services to you. This includes a 

display name (for example, “Twitter Moments”); a username (for example, @

TwitterMoments); a password; an email address or phone number; a date of 

birth; your display language; and third-party single sign-in information (if you 

choose this sign-in method). You can also choose to share your location in 

your profile and Tweets, and to upload your address book to Twitter to help find 

people you may know. Your profile information, which includes your display 

name and username, is always public, but you can use either your real name 

or a pseudonym. And remember, you can create multiple Twitter accounts, for 

example, to express different parts of your identity, professional or otherwise.

• Professional Accounts. If you create a professional account, you also need to 

provide us with a professional category, and may provide us with other 

information, including street address, contact email address, and contact phone 

number, all of which will always be public.

• Payment Information. In order to purchase ads or other offerings provided as part of 

our paid products and services you will need to provide us payment information, 

including your credit or debit card number, card expiration date, CVV code, and 

billing address.

• Preferences. When you set your preferences using your settings, we collect that 

information so that we can respect your preferences.
