If the users profile is public and you are displaying it on your website using Javascript then everything should be fine. The Profile Widget is designed to go on webpages to provide a timeline of a users Tweets. The only thing it doesn't do is support retweets.
If the profile widget doesn't do what you want may instead want to write an application which gets the Tweets and caches them locally. You can then render them on the webpage as required without using any of your allowed Twitter API requests.
