X, the social network that you can access at twitter.com, is planning to collect users’ biometric information, employment history, and educational history, according to an updated privacy policy. “Based on your consent, we may collect and use your biometric information for safety, security, and identification purposes,” the new policy says.
X posted the new version of its privacy policy yesterday, saying it will go into effect on September 29. The current privacy policy that doesn’t include collecting biometric data and employment history will remain in effect until September 29.
The new policy says that X “may collect and use your personal information (such as your employment history, educational history, employment preferences, skills and abilities, job search activity and engagement, and so on) to recommend potential jobs for you, to share with potential employers when you apply for a job, to enable employers to find potential candidates, and to show you more relevant advertising.”
