Following changes by Google and cPanel, Twitter has updated its terms of service (TOS) to comply with GDPR and its data privacy requirements.
From May 25th, new conditions and privacy terms apply, and Twitter has split them into two major categories:
- For residents of the United States.
- For everyone else, e.g. international users.
According to Twitter:
These updates will take effect on May 25, 2018. By using our services on or after that date, you’ll be agreeing to these revisions. You should read the documents in full, but the key updates in our Privacy Policy include:
- More focus on the controls we offer you over your personal data;
- More focus on how Twitter shares your public data broadly and instantly, including through our developer tools;
- More transparency and control over how we share your data with business partners; and
- More clarity about how we share your data to prevent harm, comply with law, serve the public interest, and keep Twitter safe and welcoming for everyone.
We’ve also updated our Terms of Service so that we have one set of terms for both Twitter and Periscope, and to clarify that you must have rights to the content you share on our services.
