Summary

We promise to be nice.

Privacy

Important. Your Twitter privacy settings are not reflected in Twitlonger. If your updates are private in Twitter it does not mean your Twitlonger posts are private. However, we do not have a search option, so the only realistic way of anyone seeing them is if you post a link to them.

OK, basic terms of privacy for the site. We store messages indefinitely (that means forever, or the closest approximation the site makes it to). If you ask we will delete posts/accounts. Very soon you will be able to do this yourself in which case all information will be removed about your twitter account and any posts associated with it. We'll probably even stop following you on Twitter. We will not "back it up" on the chance you change your mind. It may be backed up as part of our standard hosting company's service in case of hard drive failures, but not in any sinister, tracking you way.

We store your Twitter username, your Twitter display name and the link to your Twitter avatar and background. We do not store passwords since we use OAuth to access your Twitter account.

What we do with your information

Nothing. Really. We use it to post to Twitter and that's it. We collect statistics on visitors through Google Analytics/Quantcast and serve ads via Google adwords, but we don't do any keyword processing for our own edification. We don't even have a way to search posts and that is unlikely to change unless Twitter pays us a huge pile of cash to use our hashtags too :)

We will hand over information on request to any law enforcement authority, but seriously, what are the chances of us ever needing to do that?

We *definitely* won't sell, pass on, redistribute or otherwise make available information to third parties. Copyright is retained with the original author. If you post any good jokes we might use them in the pub on Friday night.

Guarantee/Uptime

We make no promise the service will be available at any specific time or for any specific duration. We do not guarantee your messages will be available, nor do we guarantee they won't magically disappear. If they're that important, grab a copy of them. We reserve the right to remove any and all parts of the service at any time and without warning.

But we promise to be nice.
