Twitter follows a different policy in terms of privacy than other social media practices and seeks to create an environment where users can feel safe. But even Twitter is not a place where your data is 100% safe. The last error of the micro-blog site clearly demonstrated this.
Twitter, in a statement he described as reliable during advertising operations, but the name of a partner 'accidentally' announced the location data sent by users. According to Twitter's description, this location data was deleted instead of being stored as part of normal operations.
Only iOS users were affected. Location data from all accounts may have been sent to your Twitter partner, even if you have opened multiple accounts in the application and only allowed high position accuracy in one of them.
