"Twellow does not store your Twitter password at all in our database," explains Daines. "We only use it to send a simple HTTPS request (that means it’s a secure connection) to the Twitter servers to see if you are actually the owner of your Twitter screen name. This is the approved method for verifying Twitter credentials according to the documentation on Twitter’s API site. Upon verification of your Twitter account, the password is discarded by our system."

So in case you are skeptical of Twitter-related services (and I wouldn't blame you) you can rest assured that you're safe with Twellow. But as Matthew implies, it always helps to stay on top of current security issues and stay informed.

"It is ultimately up to you to choose which entities are worthy of your trust. Educate yourself to security risks versus the benefits of interacting in free society. Use that amazing mind which you are blessed with to study and think things out for yourself."
