Privacy

Privacy is important to us. Unless a Twitter user has explicitly chosen to authorize Twitter for Facebook to connect to their Facebook account, we will not display that user’s Twitter username or other identifying information (e.g. profile picture, bio, gender, age, etc.)

We collect this information to give you a better experience on Twitter (suggested users, topics, etc.) If you disconnect your Facebook account from Twitter, we will remove any information previously collected from your Facebook account. Please note that it may take up to a few weeks for this information to be fully removed from our system.
