In this article, you&#8217;ll learn how to control what information Twitter collects about you. If you&#8217;ve never created an account before, you&#8217;ll learn about your Privacy settings on the service. Once you&#8217;ve created an account, you can start following people and following different interests. In addition, you can manage the information you share with the public through your settings.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Signing_up_for_a_Twitter_account\"><\/span>Signing up for a Twitter account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>After clicking on &#8220;Sign up,&#8221; you&#8217;ll be required to enter your name, email address, and date of birth. Once you&#8217;ve filled in all the information, you&#8217;ll need to confirm your details by entering a verification code sent to your phone number or email address. After this, you&#8217;ll be able to continue to the next step. You&#8217;ll also be asked to create a new password and upload a profile picture, write a bio, and follow people.<\/p>\n<p>The next step in creating a Twitter account is to enter a valid email address and password. Your username must be less than 15 characters. You can also use an email address that is not in use by anyone else. If you have trouble confirming your email address, try using another email address. Make sure to check your spam or junk folders, because your email address may already be in use. If you still have trouble, try logging in to your Twitter account on a desktop or PC, or use the official Twitter app for Android or iOS.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Information_that_is_collected_about_you\"><\/span>Information that is collected about you<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You need to know the types of information that Twitter collects on you when using your Twitter account. Twitter may collect your username, email address, password, location, apps connected to your account, Tweets, and private messages. While you can change your privacy settings, Twitter does not delete this information. Listed below are the types of information that Twitter collects on you when using your account. It is possible to opt-out of Twitter&#8217;s use of these information.<\/p>\n<p>In 2014, 140 million users provided personal information to secure their accounts. They were told that the information would be used for security and advertising, but failed to disclose that it was also being used to target ads. This information was matched against data it already had or obtained from data brokers. Twitter then used this information to target ads based on these data points. That information was collected without the user&#8217;s consent and without their knowledge.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Information_that_is_collected_about_you_if_youve_never_created_a_Twitter_account\"><\/span>Information that is collected about you if you&#8217;ve never created a Twitter account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t made an account yet, you should know that Twitter tracks you. These companies have agreements with websites that embed tweets or use Twitter in other ways to gather information about their users. This information is then used to target ads to your interests. Unless you&#8217;ve created an account, Twitter will collect information from your web browsing habits and geolocation. This data is used to improve the quality of ads and services.<\/p>\n<p>Some of this information may be sensitive to you, so you should check the privacy settings of your web browser and mobile phone. Luckily, Twitter&#8217;s privacy settings allow you to control whether others can search you by your email address or phone number. You can also limit the information that these companies can share with third parties. Just be aware of how much information Twitter can use to improve your online experience.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Privacy_settings_on_Twitter\"><\/span>Privacy settings on Twitter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To find out how to change the privacy settings on your Twitter account, follow these simple steps. First, click on &#8220;Profile&#8221; in the left-hand menu. Then, click on &#8220;Privacy and safety&#8221; and then &#8220;Your Twitter activity.&#8221; There, you&#8217;ll find a list of privacy settings that apply to your activity on Twitter. Changing these settings can prevent Twitter from collecting information about your Tweets without your knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>Next, you&#8217;ll want to check the &#8220;Custom Audience&#8221; box. If you&#8217;d rather not have these ads targeted to you, uncheck the box. Similarly, if you&#8217;d rather not have your profile information used for targeted advertising, you can uncheck &#8220;allow Twitter to collect information about where you see our content on the web.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"513\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3-2Xomw92TQ\" height=\"287\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who Can Use My Twitter Account?
