Protecting and defending user privacy is at the heart of our work. From protecting user anonymity, to offering meaningful resolution our foundational principles are built into LSD’s core DNA.
Our approach to privacy compliance is broader than simply complying with the terms of the GDPR, the UK GDPR, the CCPA and the array of other data protection laws and regulations that apply to our global business. Rather, we think about how our work can benefit as many of our users as possible and work towards legal compliance in a way that strengthens our comprehensive data security and privacy program, and supports the evolution of our principles and overarching mission as a company.
We want to help people understand how we work to give them the transparency and tools they need to have meaningful controls over what data we collect about them, how it is used, and when it is shared.
Our teams are consistently working behind the scenes to understand new legal requirements and user expectations to ensure Twitter is prepared to meet the commitments we made to our users and to provide an industry-leading level of transparency and user control. You will continue to see us make updates across our core product, terms, policies, user functionality and operations to keep these commitments to the people who rely on us to engage in the public conversation.
