For more information about how this data may be used, please see Facebook’s data privacy policy.

I use a Twitter Tweet widget on my blog. As a result, my blog makes requests to Twitter’s servers for you to be able to tweet my web pages using your Twitter account. These requests make your IP address visible to Twitter, which may use it in accordance with their data privacy policy.
