I have already gotten in touch with CM mgmt. I have three emails from them and can share with you one-on-one if you have doubts.
Do share the responses from Admin.
Since I have received several messages concerned about this I decided to investigate and see whats going on.
Below you will find the support thread.

Can you explain why you would follow me on Twitter? That is an account I use for business. You are obviously tracking IP addresses because nothing here would connect with that Twitter account. I'm pretty sure that's illegal. And I know it's not just me because you did it to a friend as well. Cut the crap. If I need to get a lawyer, I will. So much for your privacy policy. Confidentiality means NOTHING to you.

1Goddess4Life,
We follow over 100 people on twitter, most of whom are involved in the fetish community in some way. We don't use information from the site to determine who to follow. If our following you on twitter bothers you that much, please let us know your twitter username and we would be more than happy to unfollow you.
With regard,

Lauren,
This makes no sense.
How do you know my real name? How do you my Twitter handle? What makes you think I want the world to know what I am doing on your site? How absurd is this? Further, The email address associated with this account is NOT the same as with my Twitter account.
You must think you are dealing with ignorant people. You're not. It's unacceptable. We have contacted Twitter and reported you for spamming, harassment and porn. You've opened up a can of worms CM Support. We'll be taking action.
Really

1Goddess4Life,
I know neither your real name nor your twitter handle. I am not sure why you think that having someone follow you on twitter broadcasts what you are doing on this site: there is no connection between the 2. If you see we have recently followed you it is because you came up in one of the following searches we did on twitter: Collarme, BDSM, Tech, San Jose, or Fetish or because you were connected to someone who came up in those searches and twitter recommended you.
Twitter is a public site and they do have the option for you to protect your tweets and restrict them to only those you deem worthy of viewing them. If you do not deem us worthy simply restrict them. Please keep in mind that you are fraudulently reporting us for infractions we did not commit.We have in no way contacted you on that site, retweeted anything you said, or singled you out in any way, and it was you who initiated the contact on this site.
We have already offered to stop following you since it clearly bothers you so much, all you need to do it let us know which out of the over 100 people we follow you are, and it will be as simple as us clicking the unfollow button.

OK Sister, here it is.
I should not come up under ANY of those categories as I do NOT have the following in my profile:
CollarMe
BDSM
Tech
San Jose
Fetish
I am a marketing and PR professional with 25 years of experience. Most people follow me that way. We do social media marketing for businesses for a living.
Also, don't you think people associate you with the people you follow and vice versa? If one is following McDonald's, it's likely they like hamburgers, right?
So what you are saying is you randomly added people you thought would be good for yoru site. That is a form of spamming.
I am taking your responses to my complaint and passing them on directly to Twitter's Legal Department. Think twice about how you use social media when you are an adult company. You clearly are a junior employee or you would understand why it's so different from mainstream.
Good luck kids.

1Goddess4Life,
You do understand that the way twitter works is that anyone who is interested in what you are saying can follow you, right? Unless of course, you restrict your tweets. We did nothing more than use the site as it is meant to be used. If you take a look at who we follow, you will see other marketing professionals on the list. They do have fetish interests listed in their profiles: perhaps you are connected to one of them, or came up in the twitter recommendation because of the marketing connection.
I think that anyone who uses twitter and has even an iota of common sense realizes that unless you restrict your tweets you do not control who follows you, so unless you are following us back I fail to see how you think this would impact your reputation in any way.
Random implies that we just click the follow button for each user we see and that we are not using any sort of selection criteria: I assure you this is not the case, and since you are in the business of social media marketing I am sure you realize that accusing someone who is following less than 150 people on an account that is over 6 months old of these random / spamming additions borders on ridiculous. Yes, we follow people who we think might have something interesting to say. Do you think that an interest in marketing and PR is restricted only to those who do things rated G?
We have offered repeatedly to unfollow you. We have been nothing but respectful of you and your privacy, and have tried to meet you more than halfway.You are choosing to continue down this fraudulent and libelous path by knowingly making false claims against us.
We are more than happy to respond to Twitters legal department with copies of these same communications should you choose to continue your harassment.
