Additional information sharing with business partners
When Twitter receives information about you, we use that information to improve our services, to personalize your Twitter experience, and for other purposes as described in our Privacy Policy. In some cases, this involves sharing non-public personal information with our partners.
For the partnerships described below, we provide you with additional control over whether your non-public personal data may be shared if you are located in the specified regions. You can exercise this control using the Allow additional information sharing with business partners setting in your Personalization and Data settings. Changes to this setting may not be immediate.
The setting only applies to the particular types of partnerships described below –– it does not affect how Twitter otherwise shares data or through partnerships other than those described below. Additionally, though these partnerships may operate globally, the setting only applies in the specific regions as described below. This means that if a partnership is listed as being subject to the setting in a select region, then only Twitter customers in that region can use the setting as described. For example, all Twitter customers can use the setting as described in the “subject to the setting for all Twitter customers globally” section, but customers located in the EU, an EFTA state, or the United Kingdom can also use the setting as described in the “subject to the setting for Twitter customers located in the European Union, EFTA States, or the United Kingdom” section.

Other Advertising Platforms Through Which Twitter Markets Itself:
Twitter shares certain non-public personal information with certain digital advertising platforms to help measure and optimize the effectiveness of our efforts to market Twitter on those platforms. This information can include IP address and mobile device advertising identifiers for devices that open or log in to Twitter’s mobile apps; but does not include your name, email, phone number, or Twitter username. These advertising platform partners act as data controllers for this information and the platforms we currently work with in this capacity are:
Google [Google's Privacy Policy]
Facebook [Facebook’s Data Policy]
Twitter may share this information with these partners before you’ve signed up for Twitter (e.g. when you first open the app before creating an account) as disclosed prior to download in the Twitter app description in the App Store and Google Play, but does not offer you control over this data sharing until after you’ve created a Twitter account. Once you’ve created a Twitter account, if your Allow additional information sharing with business partners setting is disabled Twitter will not thereafter share with these partners the non-public personal information described above. Separately, you may be able to control how these partners use this data by exercising privacy choices as described in their privacy policies linked above. For Twitter customers who signed up prior to the last updated date above and who are located in the European Union, an EFTA State, or the United Kingdom, Twitter does not currently share this information with these partners as described above even if your Allow additional information sharing with business partners setting is enabled.
Subject to the setting for Twitter customers located in the European Union, EFTA States, or the United Kingdom:
Mobile Application Advertising Campaign Information for Non-Data-Processors:
Twitter shares certain non-public personal information with advertisers who run mobile application advertising campaigns through Twitter. This information can include which ads a particular browser or device saw, watched, or otherwise interacted with; but does not include your name, email, phone number, or Twitter username. For example, Twitter might share that a mobile device identifier viewed or clicked on an ad for a particular mobile application.
Twitter may share this information directly with advertisers that are not acting as data processors, but such advertisers more frequently access this data through data processor partnerships. Data processors act on behalf of Twitter to facilitate measurement and analytics solutions for advertisers who run mobile application advertising campaigns through Twitter. If you are located in the European Union, an EFTA state, or the United Kingdom, your Allow additional information sharing with business partners setting must be enabled in order for Twitter and its data processors to share the non-public personal information described above with third parties that are not acting as data processors.
