Receive email about your Twitter activity and recommendations

Twitter is where you can see what’s happening in the world right now. In order to keep you informed about activity related to your new Twitter account, and provide recommendations of what’s most relevant or popular in the moment, Twitter may send you emails. Unsubscribe from these emails at any time by updating the email preferences in your Twitter settings.

Receive personalized ads based on your activity off Twitter

Twitter works with ads partners and affiliates to bring you more useful and interesting ads on and off Twitter. Twitter’s ad partners and affiliates share information directly with us, and may integrate our advertising technology to enable Twitter to collect similar information directly from their websites or apps. Your personalized ads setting controls whether Twitter uses this data to show you interest-based advertising on and off Twitter, and also controls whether Twitter will use data about your activity on Twitter to show you interest-based advertising off Twitter. Learn more about your privacy controls of personalized ads.

After you finish creating your new account, you can always review and modify these and other settings through your account settings, available on twitter.com, Twitter for iOS, and Twitter for Android.
