I read the terms of service on my twitter account. I’ve had twitter for about a year now but just like most other sites I go to, I just click “agree” without even reading the policy. On twitter it states “ You understand that through your use of the Services you consent to the collection and use (as set forth in the Privacy Policy) of this information, including the transfer of this information to the United States and/or other countries for storage, processing and use by Twitter. “ Basically they claim that they won’t be sharing any private user information except for in these few circumstances.
• Your Consent: We may share or disclose your information with your consent, such as when you use a third party web client or application to access your Twitter account.
• Service Providers: We engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to us. We may share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these functions and provide such services, and only pursuant to obligations mirroring the protections of this privacy policy.
• Law and Harm: We may preserve or disclose your information if we believe that it is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation or legal request; to protect the safety of any person; to address fraud, security or technical issues; or to protect Twitter's rights or property.
• Business Transfers: In the event that Twitter is involved in a bankruptcy, merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets, your information may be sold or transferred as part of that transaction. The promises in this privacy policy will apply to your information as transferred to the new entity.
• Non-Private or Non-Personal Information: We may share or disclose your non-private, aggregated or otherwise non-personal information, such as your public Tweets or the number of users who clicked on a particular link (even if only one did).
I did not see anything about security bleach but I did see where it has happened in the past. I will be careful with how much information I disclose since it’s being stored somewhere. Nice assignment!
