Posting other people's private and confidential information is a violation of the Twitter Rules.
Please be cautious when giving out your information online, especially your private address, location, credit card number, or telephone number. Remember, what you Tweet is public and can be seen by anyone. If you want your Tweets to only be available to approved followers you can set your Tweets to protected. Please keep in mind that any Tweets posted before you protected your Tweets were displayed publicly and may be available in search or through third party sites.
People are not always who they claim to be on their Twitter profile and you should be wary of any communication that asks for your private contact information, personal information, or passwords.
Such information may include:
credit card information
social security or other national identity numbers
addresses or locations that are considered private
non-public, personal phone numbers
non-public, personal email addresses
Keep in mind that though you may consider some information to be private, it may not fall within our privacy policy.
If someone has posted your private information on Twitter, please submit a Support ticket. Once you've submitted your ticket, we’ll email you a ticket confirmation with more information.
