Turning off ads, securing your Off-Twitter Activity, and more
Those of you who have been playing along with the Avast Privacy Refresh for the past few weeks know that we’ve worked together to take back some control of our data from Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. Each week, I’ve given you a simple, less than five minute task, that you can do to take back some of your privacy and data from the big social media companies. Today, we’re going to tackle the final installment: Twitter.
Twitter, like the other social media giants we’ve talked about, likes to collect data about you and sell it advertisers. According to their Privacy Policy:
“Our ad partners and affiliates share information with us such as browser cookie IDs, mobile device IDs, hashed email addresses, demographic or interest data, and content viewed or actions taken on a website or app. Some of our ad partners, particularly our advertisers, also enable us to collect similar information directly from their website or app by integrating our advertising technology.”
So basically, they’re collecting info about you and combining it with info from other sources to serve you ads for things that you’re more likely to buy. If that’s fine with you, that’s fine! But if it’s not, here’s this week’s Privacy Refresh.
