Facebook Privacy
Facebook collects a vast amount of information about its users, including:
- Profile information: This includes your name, age, gender, location, education, and employment history.
- Activity data: This includes your posts, comments, likes, and shares.
- Device information: This includes the type of device you use to access Facebook, as well as your IP address and location data.
- Contacts: This includes your phone contacts and email addresses.
- Third-party data: This includes information that Facebook receives from other companies, such as your purchase history and browsing habits.
Facebook uses this information to:
- Target advertising: Facebook uses your information to show you adverts that are more likely to be relevant to you.
- Improve your experience: Facebook uses your information to personalize your experience on the site, such as by recommending friends and groups that you might be interested in.
- Develop new products and services: Facebook uses your information to develop new products and services that you might be interested in.
Facebook has been criticised for the amount of data it collects and the way it uses that data. However, the company maintains that it is committed to protecting your privacy.
Here are some of the ways that Facebook protects your privacy:
- Data minimization: Facebook collects only the information that it needs to provide its services.
- Data encryption: Facebook encrypts your data so that it is protected from unauthorized access.
- User controls: Facebook gives you a number of controls over how your data is used. For example, you can control who can see your profile information and posts.
- These are Facebook statements. Facebook collects any information you give it – you do not need to share everything.
