Like most website operators, Twelio.com collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Twelio.com's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Twelio.com visitors use its website and URL shortening service. From time to time, Twelio.com may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website and URL shortening services.
Twelio.com also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Twelio.com does not use such information to identify its visitors and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below. Please be aware that Twelio.com cannot be responsible for the privacy practices of other sites, including those to which we link or whose products or services we reference. We encourage you to read the terms of use and privacy statements of each Web site you visit or URL you wish to shorten.
