Twitter Rolls Out 'Privacy Center' To Prove Its Transparency

As from now, Twitter will start launching a new page called Privacy Center to support users around the world. In a word, this is a place that Twitter uses for sharing announcements and latest news regarding all of its upcoming privacy policies as well as inevitable security incidents. In a recent post on the Privacy Center, the company once mentioned how it appreciates Twitter users, and seemingly promised to keep user data insofar as it can.

At present, the Privacy Center is totally ready for use. As posted on the page, the social media claims that it’s working on some updates for its privacy policy, which will soon take place in January. As commented by Reuters, these changes are considered as part of a recent law act named CPPA, which Twitter has to comply with. The act demands a large business like Twitter to give users not only more transparency but also more control over their personal data.

Put it aside, the company has moved its "de-facto entity" from Dublin, Ireland to San Francisco under the new name Twitter Inc., instead of Twitter International Company. The reason behind this move is nothing but avoidance of strict rules released in Europe. From that, the company expects to test out more new features and settings before rolling them out.

Prior to the launch of the Privacy Center, Twitter was criticized for its easy-to-misunderstand policies, so the company once said it would simplify the language in this category. People have raised concerns over how their data and private information would be shared without their consent as Twitter admitted it may use some of them in quest of targeting ads.

In a blog post, the company expressed its faults when it comes to privacy and data protection, but promised to make them evolve. Of course, time will tell us all.
