(Reuters) — Twitter is updating its global privacy policy to give users more information about what data advertisers might receive and is launching a site to provide clarity on its data protection efforts, the company said on Monday.

The changes, which will take effect on January 1, 2020, will comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

“We want to be able to experiment without immediately running afoul of the GDPR provisions,” Twitter’s data protection officer Damien Kieran told Reuters in a phone interview.

Twitter’s new privacy site, dubbed the ‘Twitter Privacy Center’ is part of the company’s efforts to showcase its work on data protection and will also give users another route to access and download their data.

Twitter joins other internet companies who have recently staked out their positions ahead of CCPA coming into effect. | To read full story, visit https://startuparound.com/read/1575331205.3200037/Twitter-will-make-global-privacy-changes-to-comply-with-CCPA-in-2020?ref=audio_experience
