Information I might have:
Your name and email address—but only if you give them to me.
I'll never sell them unless someone offers me a shit-ton of money to do so, causing me to get out of the game altogether. (Quantifying a "shit-ton" is like how Justice Potter Stewart described obscenity: "I can't define it, but I know it when I see it.")
I also won't rent out your information to anyone. If I send you something, it's coming from me, not some company paying me to send a glorified advertisement.
Tracking
Like 95% of all websites, I track where users go on the site for analytics purposes, but I don't know that it's you going from page to page—although Google might. Fortunately, you can take it up with them.
Once you leave the site, I have no idea where you go or what you do. (Others do, that's why you see very specific ads related to websites you've previously visited.) None of that interests me and it's none of my business.

Recent Tweets
If you toggle the switch above the words "Recent Tweets" and it still says, "Nothing to see here - yet," it means the idiot who broke Twitter either hasn't gotten around to fixing this feature, or intentionally broke it to get us to pay for it (which is moronic, I can easily live without it and it generated traffic to his site).
