PLAINTIFFS’ CONSOLIDATED AMENDED COMPLAINT; Case No. C 13-05996 PJH

Exhibit A

This agreement was written in English (US). To the extent any translated version of this agreement conflicts with the
English version,
the English version controls.  Please note that Section 17 contains certain changes to the general terms
for users outside the United States.

Date of Last Revision: November 15, 2013.
Statement of Rights and Responsibilities

This Statement of Rights and Responsibilities ("Statement," "Terms," or "SRR") derives from the Facebook Principles,
and is our terms of service that governs our relationship with users and others who interact with Facebook. By using or
accessing Facebook, you agree to this Statement, as updated from time to time in accordance with Section 14 below.
Additionally, you will find resources at the end of this document that help you understand how Facebook works.
1. Privacy

Your privacy is very important to us. We designed our Data Use Policy
to make important disclosures about how
you can use Facebook to share with others and how we collect and can use your content and information.  We
encourage you to read the Data Use Policy, and to use it to help you make informed decisions.

2. Sharing Your Content and Information

You own all of the content and information you post on Facebook, and you can control how it is shared through
your privacy and application settings. In addition:
1. For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos and videos (IP content), you
specifically give us the following permission, subject to your privacy and application settings:
you grant us
a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you
post on or in connection with Facebook (IP License). This IP License ends when you delete your IP
content or your account unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it.
2. When you delete IP content, it is deleted in a manner similar to emptying the recycle bin on a computer.
However, you understand that removed content may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of

time (but will not be available to others).
3. When you use an application, the application may ask for your permission to access your content and
information as well as content and
information that others have shared with you.  We require applications
to respect your privacy, and your agreement with that application will control how the application can use,
store, and transfer that content and information.  (To learn more about Platform, including how you can
control what information other people may share with applications, read our Data Use Policy and Platform
Page.)
4. When you publish content or information using the Public setting, it means that you are allowing everyone,
including people off of Facebook, to access and use that information, and to associate it with you (i.e., your
name and profile picture).
5. We always appreciate your feedback or other suggestions about Facebook, but you understand that we may
use them without any obligation
to compensate you for them (just as you have no obligation to offer them).

3. Safety

We do our best to keep Facebook safe, but we cannot guarantee it. We need your help to keep Facebook safe,
which includes the following commitments by you:
1. You will not post unauthorized commercial communications (such as spam) on Facebook.
2. You will not collect users' content or information, or otherwise access Facebook, using automated means
(such as harvesting bots, robots,
spiders, or scrapers) without our prior permission.

You will not upload viruses or other malicious code.
You will not solicit login information or access an account belonging to someone else.
You will not bully, intimidate, or harass any user.
You will not post content that: is hate speech, threatening, or pornographic; incites violence; or contains
nudity or graphic or gratuitous violence.
You will not develop or operate a third-party application containing alcohol-related, dating or other mature
content (including advertisements) without appropriate age-based restrictions.
You will follow our Promotions Guidelines and all applicable laws if you publicize or offer any contest,
giveaway, or sweepstakes (“promotion”) on Facebook.
You will not use Facebook to do anything unlawful, misleading, malicious, or discriminatory.
You will not do anything that could disable, overburden, or impair the proper working or appearance of
Facebook, such as a denial of service attack or interference with page rendering or other Facebook

functionality.
You will not facilitate or encourage any violations of this Statement or our policies.

4. Registration and Account Security

Facebook users provide their real names and information, and we need your help to keep it that way. Here are
some commitments you make to us relating to registering and maintaining the security of your account:
1. You will not provide any false personal information on Facebook, or
create an account for anyone other
than yourself without permission.
2. You will not create more than one personal account.
3. If we disable your account, you will not create another one without our permission.
4. You will not use your personal timeline primarily for your own commercial gain, and will use a Facebook
Page for such purposes.
5. You will not use Facebook if you are under 13.
6. You will not use Facebook if you are a convicted sex offender.
7. You will keep your contact information accurate and up-to-date.
8. You will not share your password (or in the case of developers, your secret key), let anyone else access
your account, or do anything else that might jeopardize the security of your account.
9. You will not transfer your account (including any Page or application you administer) to anyone without
first getting our written permission.
10. If you select a username or similar identifier for your account or Page, we reserve the right to remove or
reclaim it if we believe it is appropriate (such as when a trademark owner complains about a username that
does not closely relate to a user's actual name).

5. Protecting Other People's Rights

We respect other people's rights, and expect you to do the same.
1. You will not post content or take any action on Facebook that infringes or violates someone else's rights or
otherwise violates the law.
2. We can remove any content or information you post on Facebook if we
believe that it violates this
Statement or our policies.
3. We provide you with tools to help you protect your intellectual property rights. To learn more, visit our
How to Report Claims of Intellectual Property Infringement page.
4. If we remove your content for infringing someone else's copyright, and you believe we removed it by
mistake, we will provide you with an opportunity to appeal.
5. If you repeatedly infringe other people's intellectual property rights, we will disable your account when
appropriate.
6. You will not use our copyrights or trademarks (including Facebook, the Facebook and F Logos, FB, Face,
Poke, Book and Wall), or any confusingly similar marks, except as expressly permitted by our Brand
2

Usage Guidelines or with our prior written permission.
7. If you collect information from users, you will: obtain their consent, make it clear you (and not Facebook)
are the one collecting their information, and post a privacy policy explaining what information
you collect
and how you will use it.
8. You will not post anyone's identification documents or sensitive financial information on Facebook.
9. You will not tag users or send email invitations to non-users without their consent. Facebook offers social
reporting tools to enable users to provide feedback about tagging.

6. Mobile and Other Devices

1. We currently provide our mobile services for free, but please be aware that your carrier's normal rates and
fees, such as text messaging and data charges, will still apply.
2. In the event you change or deactivate your mobile telephone number,
you will update your account
information on Facebook within 48 hours to
ensure that your messages are not sent to the person who
acquires your old number.
3. You provide consent and all rights necessary to enable users to sync (including through an application) their
devices with any information that is visible to them on Facebook.

7. Payments

If you make a payment on Facebook or use Facebook Credits, you agree to our Payments Terms.

8. Special Provisions Applicable to Social Plugins

If you include our Social Plugins, such as the Share or Like buttons on your website, the following additional
terms apply to you:
1. We give you permission to use Facebook's Social Plugins so that users can post links or content from your
website on Facebook.
2. You give us permission to use and allow others to use such links and content on Facebook.
3. You will not place a Social Plugin on any page containing content that would violate this Statement if
posted on Facebook.

9. Special Provisions Applicable to Developers/Operators of Applications and Websites

If you are a developer or operator of a Platform application or website, the following additional terms apply to
you:
1. You are responsible for your application and its content and all uses you make of Platform. This includes
ensuring your application or use of Platform meets our Facebook Platform Policies and our Advertising
Guidelines.
2. Your access to and use of data you receive from Facebook, will be limited as follows:
1. You will only request data you need to operate your application.

Developer Application.
3. You will not use, display, share, or transfer a user’s data in a manner inconsistent with your privacy
policy.
4. You will delete all data you receive from us concerning a user if
the user asks you to do so, and will

commercial, sponsored, or related content (such as a brand you like) served or enhanced by us. This means,

access your account. You may also delete your account or disable your application at any time. In all such cases,
this
Statement shall terminate, but the following provisions will still apply: 2.2, 2.4, 3-5, 8.2, 9.1-9.3, 9.9, 9.10,
9.13, 9.15, 9.18, 10.3, 11.2, 11.5, 11.6, 11.9, 11.12, 11.13, and 15-19.

16. Disputes

1. You will resolve any claim, cause of action or dispute (claim) you have with us arising out of or relating to
this Statement or Facebook exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California or
a state court located in San Mateo County, and you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such
courts for the purpose of
litigating all such claims. The laws of the State of California will govern this
Statement, as well as any claim that might arise between you
and us, without regard to conflict of law
provisions.
2. If anyone brings a claim against us related to your actions, content or information on Facebook, you will
indemnify and hold us harmless from and against all damages, losses, and expenses of any kind (including
reasonable legal fees and costs) related to such claim. Although we provide rules for user conduct, we do
not control or direct users' actions on Facebook and are not responsible for the content or information users
transmit or share on Facebook. We are not responsible for any offensive, inappropriate, obscene, unlawful
or otherwise objectionable content or information you may encounter on Facebook. We are not responsible
for the conduct, whether online or offline, or any user of Facebook.
3. WE TRY TO KEEP FACEBOOK UP, BUG-FREE, AND SAFE, BUT YOU USE IT AT YOUR OWN
RISK. WE ARE PROVIDING FACEBOOK AS IS WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED
WARRANTIES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF

MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT FACEBOOK WILL ALWAYS BE SAFE, SECURE OR ERRORFREE OR THAT FACEBOOK WILL ALWAYS FUNCTION WITHOUT DISRUPTIONS, DELAYS OR
IMPERFECTIONS. FACEBOOK IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACTIONS, CONTENT,
INFORMATION, OR DATA OF THIRD PARTIES, AND YOU RELEASE US, OUR DIRECTORS,
OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS FROM ANY CLAIMS AND DAMAGES, KNOWN AND
UNKNOWN, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH ANY CLAIM
YOU HAVE
AGAINST ANY SUCH THIRD PARTIES. IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, YOU WAIVE
CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE §1542, WHICH SAYS: A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND
TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR
AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE
MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR. WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE
TO YOU FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR OTHER CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, OR
INCIDENTAL DAMAGES
ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS STATEMENT OR
FACEBOOK, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF THIS STATEMENT OR FACEBOOK WILL NOT

EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100) OR THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE

PAID US IN THE PAST TWELVE MONTHS. APPLICABLE LAW MAY NOT ALLOW THE

LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY OR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL

DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN
6

SUCH CASES, FACEBOOK'S LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT

PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

Statement of Rights and Responsibilities
This Statement of Rights and Responsibilities (Statement) derives from the Facebook Principles, and
governs our relationship with users and others who interact with Facebook. By using or accessing
Facebook, you agree to this Statement.
1. Privacy
Your privacy is very important to us. We designed our Privacy Policy to make important

application. We require applications to respect your privacy, and your agreement with
that application will control how the application can use, store, and transfer that content

are allowing everyone, including people off of Facebook, to access and use that
information, and to associate it with you (i.e., your name and profile picture).

understand that we may use them without any obligation to compensate you for them
(just as you have no obligation to offer them).

Statement of Rights and Responsibilities

This Statement of Rights and Responsibilities ("Statement," "Terms," or "SRR") derives from the
Facebook Principles, and is our terms of service that governs our relationship with users and others
who interact with Facebook. By using or accessing Facebook, you agree to this Statement, as updated
from time to time in accordance with Section 14 below. Additionally, you will find resources at the
end of this document that help you understand how Facebook works.
1. Privacy
Your privacy is very important to us. We designed our Data Use Policy to make important
disclosures about how you can use Facebook to share with others and how we collect and can
use your content and information. We encourage you to read the Data Use Policy, and to use it
to help you make informed decisions.
2. Sharing Your Content and Information
You own all of the content and information you post on Facebook, and you can control how it is
shared through your privacy and application settings. In addition:
1. For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos and videos (IP
content), you specifically give us the following permission, subject to your privacy and
application settings: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable,
royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection
with Facebook (IP License). This IP License ends when you delete your IP content or
your account unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted
it.
2. When you delete IP content, it is deleted in a manner similar to emptying the recycle bin
on a computer. However, you understand that removed content may persist in backup
copies for a reasonable period of time (but will not be available to others).
3. When you use an application, the application may ask for your permission to access your
content and information as well as content and information that others have shared with
you. We require applications to respect your privacy, and your agreement with that
application will control how the application can use, store, and transfer that content and
information. (To learn more about Platform, including how you can control what
information other people may share with applications, read our Data Use Policy and
Platform Page.)

POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING
OUT OF THIS STATEMENT OR FACEBOOK WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER
OF ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100) OR THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID US IN

Some other things you need to know
I. Information we receive and how it is used
Information we receive about you
We receive a number of different types of information about you, including:
Your information

Your information is the information that's required when you sign up for
the site, as well as the information you choose
to share.
Registration information: When you sign up for Facebook, you are required to provide information such as your
name, email address, birthday, and gender. In some cases, you may be able to register using other information,
like your telephone number.
Information you choose to share: Your information also includes the information you choose to share on
Facebook, such as when you post a status update, upload a photo, or comment on a friend's story.
It also includes the information you choose to share when you communicate with us, such as when you contact us using
an email address,
or when you take an action, such as when you add a friend, like a Page or a website, add a place to
your story, use our contact importers, or indicate you are in a relationship.
Your name, profile pictures, cover photos, gender, networks, username and User ID are treated just like information
you choose to make public.
Your birthday allows us to do things like show you age-appropriate content and advertisements.
Information others share about you

We receive information about you from your friends and others, such as when they upload your contact information,
post a photo of you, tag you in a photo or status update, or at a location, or add you to a group.
When people use Facebook, they may store and share information about you and others that
they have, such as when
they upload and manage their invites and contacts.
Other information we receive about you

We also receive other types of information about you:
We receive data about you whenever you use or are running Facebook, such as when you look at another person's
timeline, send or receive a message, search for a friend or a Page, click on, view or otherwise interact with things,
use a Facebook mobile app, or make purchases through Facebook.
When you post things like photos or videos on Facebook, we may receive additional related data (or metadata),
such as the time, date, and place you took the photo or video.
We receive data from or about the computer, mobile phone, or other devices you use to install Facebook apps or
to access Facebook, including when multiple users log in from the same device. This may include network and
communication information, such as your IP address or mobile phone number, and other information about
things like your internet service, operating system, location, the type (including identifiers) of the device or
browser you use, or the pages you visit. For example, we may get your GPS or other location information so we
can
tell you if any of your friends are nearby, or we could request device information to improve how our apps
work on your device.
We receive data whenever you visit a game, application, or website that uses Facebook Platform or visit a site
with a Facebook feature (such as a social plugin), sometimes through cookies.
This may include the date and time
you visit the site; the web address,
or URL, you're on; technical information about the IP address, browser and
the operating system you use; and, if you are logged in to Facebook,
your User ID.
Sometimes we get data from our affiliates
or our advertising partners, customers and other third parties that helps
us (or them) deliver ads, understand online activity, and generally make Facebook better. For example, an
2

advertiser may tell us information about you (like how you responded to an ad on Facebook or on
another site) in
order to measure the effectiveness of - and improve the quality of - ads.
As described in "How we use the information we receive"
we also put together data from the information we already
have about you, your friends, and others, so we can offer and suggest a variety of services and features. For example,
we may make friend suggestions, pick
stories for your News Feed, or suggest people to tag in photos. We may put
together your current city with GPS and other location information we have about you to, for example, tell you and
your friends about people or events nearby, or offer deals to you in which you might be interested. We may also put
together data about you to serve you ads or other content that might be more relevant to you.
When we get your GPS location, we put it together with other location information we have about you (like your
current city). But we only keep it until it is no longer useful to provide you services, like keeping your last GPS

coordinates to send you relevant notifications.
We only provide data to our advertising partners or customers after we have removed your name and any other
personally identifying information from it, or have combined it with other people's data in a way that it no longer

personally identifies you.
Public information
When we use the phrase "public information" (which we sometimes refer
to as "Everyone information"), we mean the
information you choose to make public, as well as information that is always publicly available.
Information you choose to make public

Choosing to make your information public is exactly what it sounds like: anyone, including people off Facebook, will
be able to see it. Learn more.

Choosing to make your information public also means that this information:
can be associated with you (i.e., your name, profile pictures, cover
photos, timeline, User ID, username, etc.) even
off Facebook;
can show up when someone does a search on Facebook or on a public search engine;
will be accessible to the Facebook-integrated games, applications, and websites you and your friends use; and
will be accessible to anyone who uses our APIs such as our Graph API.
Sometimes you will not be able to select an audience when you post something (like when you write on a Page's wall or
comment on a news article that uses our comments plugin). This is because some types of stories are always public
stories. As a general rule, you should assume that if you do not see a sharing icon, the information will be publicly
available.
When others share information about you, they can also choose to make it public.
Information that is always publicly available

The types of information listed below are always publicly available, and
they are treated just like information you
decided to make public:
Name: This helps your friends and family find you. If you are uncomfortable sharing your real name, you can
always delete your account.
Profile Pictures and Cover Photos: These help your friends and family recognize you. If you are uncomfortable
making any of these photos public, you can always delete them. Unless you delete them, when you add a new
profile picture or cover photo, the previous photo will remain public in your profile picture or cover photo album.
Networks: This helps you see who you will be sharing information with before you choose "Friends and
Networks" as a custom audience. If you are uncomfortable making your network public, you can leave the
network.
3

Gender: This allows us to refer to you properly.
Username and User ID: These allow you to give out a custom link to your timeline or Page, receive email at
your Facebook email address, and help make Facebook Platform possible.
Usernames and User IDs
Usernames and User IDs are the same thing – a way to identify you on Facebook. A User ID is a string of numbers and
a username generally is some variation of your name. With your username, you get a
custom link (a Facebook URL,
such as www.facebook.com/username) to your
timeline that you can give out to people or post on external websites.
If someone has your Username or User ID, they
can use it to access information about you through the facebook.com

website. For example, if someone has your Username, they can type facebook.com/Username into their browser and
see your public information
as well as anything else you've let them see. Similarly, someone with your Username or
User ID can access information about you through our APIs, such as our Graph API. Specifically, they can access your
public information, along with your age range, language and country.
If you do not want your information to be accessible to Platform applications, you can turn off all Platform applications
from your Privacy Settings.
If you turn off Platform you will no longer be able to use any games or
other applications
until you turn Platform back on. For more information about the information that apps receive when you visit them,
see
Other websites and applications.
If you want to see information available about you through our Graph API, just type
https://graph.facebook.com/[User ID or Username]?metadata=1 into your browser.
Your Facebook email address includes your public username like so: [e-mail]. People can use your
Facebook email address to send you messages and anyone in a message conversation can reply to it.
How we use the information we receive
We use the information we receive about you in connection with the services and features we provide to you and other
users like your friends, our partners, the advertisers that purchase ads on the site, and the developers that build the
games, applications, and websites you use. For example, in addition to helping people see and find things that
you do
and share, we may use the information we receive about you:
as part of our efforts to keep Facebook products, services and integrations safe and secure;
to protect Facebook's or others' rights or property;
to provide you with location features and services, like telling you and your friends when something is going on
nearby;
to measure or understand the effectiveness of ads you and others see, including to deliver relevant ads to you;
to make suggestions to you and other users on Facebook, such as: suggesting that your friend use our contact
importer because you found friends using it, suggesting that another user add you as a friend because the user
imported the same email address as you did, or suggesting that your friend tag you in a picture they have
uploaded with
you in it; and
for internal operations, including troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, research and service improvement.
Granting us permission to use your information
not only allows us to provide Facebook as it exists today, but it also

allows us to provide you with innovative features and services we develop in the future that use the information we
receive about you in new ways.

While you are allowing us to use the information we receive about you, you always own all of your information. Your
trust is important to us, which is why we don't share information we receive about you with others
unless we have:
received your permission;
given you notice, such as by telling you about it in this policy; or
removed your name and any other personally identifying information from it.
4

Of course, for information others share about you, they control how it is shared.
We store data for as long as it is necessary to provide products and services to you and others, including those described
above. Typically, information associated with your account will be kept until your account
is deleted. For certain
categories of data, we may also tell you about specific data retention practices.
We may enable access to public information that has been shared through our services.
We may allow service providers to access information so they can help us provide services.
We are able to suggest that your friend tag you in a picture by scanning and comparing your friend's pictures to
information we've put together from your profile pictures and the other photos in which you've been tagged. If this
feature is enabled for you, you can control whether we suggest that
another user tag you in a photo using the “Timeline
and Tagging” settings. Learn more at: https://www.facebook.com/help/tag-suggestions
Deleting and deactivating your account
If you want to stop using your account, you can either deactivate or delete it.
Deactivate

Deactivating your account puts your account on hold. Other users will no
longer see your timeline, but we do not delete
any of your information.
Deactivating an account is the same as you telling us not to delete any
information because
you might want to reactivate your account at some point in the future. You can deactivate your account at:
https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=security
Your friends will still see you listed in their list of friends while your account is deactivated.
Deletion

When you delete your account, it is permanently deleted from Facebook. It typically takes about one month to delete an
account, but some information may remain in backup copies and logs for up to 90 days. You should only delete your
account if you are sure you never want to reactivate it. You can delete your account at:
https://www.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=delete_account

Learn more at: https://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=356107851084108
Certain information is needed to provide you with services, so we only delete this information after you delete your
account. Some of the things you do on Facebook aren’t stored in your account, like posting to a group or sending

someone a message (where your friend may still have a message you sent, even after you delete your account). That
information remains after you
delete your account.
II. Sharing and finding you on Facebook
Control each time you post
Whenever you post content (like a status update, photo or check-in), you can select a specific audience, or even
customize your audience. To do this, simply click on the sharing icon and choose who can see it.
Choose this icon if you want to make something Public.
Choosing to make something public is exactly what it sounds
like. It means that anyone, including people off Facebook, will be able to see or
access it.
Choose this icon if you want to share with your Facebook Friends.
Choose this icon if you want to Customize your audience. You can also use this to hide your story from specific
people.
If you tag someone, that person and their friends can see your story no matter what audience you selected. The same is
true when you approve a
tag someone else adds to your story.
Always think before you post. Just like anything else you post on the
web or send in an email, information you share on
5

Facebook can be copied or re-shared by anyone who can see it.
Although you choose with
whom you share, there may be ways for others to determine information about you. For
example, if you hide your birthday so no one can see it on your timeline, but friends post “happy birthday!” on your
timeline, people may determine your birthday.
When you comment on or "like" someone else's story, or write on their timeline, that person gets to select the audience.
For example, if a friend posts a Public story and you comment on it, your comment will be Public. Often, you can
see
the audience someone selected for their story before you post a comment; however, the person who posted the story
may later change their
audience. So, if you comment on a story, and the story’s audience
changes, the new audience can
see your comment.
You can control who can see the Facebook Pages you've "liked" by visiting your timeline, clicking on the Likes box on
your timeline, and then clicking "Edit."
Sometimes you will not see a sharing icon when you post something (like when you write on a Page's wall or comment
on a news article that uses our comments plugin).
This is because some types of stories are always public stories. As a

general rule, you should assume that if you do not see a sharing icon, the information will be publicly available.
Control over your timeline
Whenever you add things to your timeline you can select a specific audience, or even customize your audience. To do
this, simply click on the sharing icon and choose who can see it.
Choose this icon if you want to make something Public.
Choosing to make something public is exactly what it sounds
like. It means that anyone, including people off Facebook, will be able to see or
access it.
Choose this icon if you want to share with your Facebook Friends.
Choose this icon if you want to Customize your audience. You can also use this to hide the item on your timeline from
specific people.
When you select an audience for your friend list, you are only controlling who can see the entire list of your friends on
your timeline. We call this a timeline visibility control. This is because your friend list is always available to the games,
applications and websites you use, and your friendships may be visible elsewhere (such as
on your friends' timelines or
in searches). For example, if you select "Only Me" as the audience for your friend list, but your friend sets her
friend
list to "Public," anyone will be able to see your connection on your friend's timeline.
Similarly, if you choose to hide your gender, it only hides it on your timeline. This is because we, just like the
applications you and your friends use, need to use your gender to refer to you properly on the site.
When someone tags you in a story (such as a photo, status update or check-in), you can choose whether you want that
story to appear on your timeline. You can either approve each story individually or approve all stories by your friends.
If you approve a story and later change your mind, you can remove it from your timeline.
When you hide things on your timeline, like posts or connections, it means those things will not
appear on your
timeline. But, remember, anyone in the audience of those
posts or who can see a connection may still see it elsewhere,
like on someone else's timeline or in search results. You can also delete your posts or change the audience of content
you post, which means you can remove people from or add people to the audience of the content.
People on Facebook may be able to see mutual friends, even if they cannot see your entire list of friends.
Some things (like your name, profile pictures and cover photos) do not have sharing icons because they are always
publicly available. As a general rule, you should assume that if you do not see a sharing icon, the information will be
publicly available.
Finding you on Facebook
To make it easier for your friends to find you, we allow anyone with your contact information (such as email address or
telephone number) to find you through the Facebook search bar at the top of most pages, as well as other tools we
provide, such as contact importers - even if you have not shared your contact information with them on Facebook.
6

You can choose who can look up your timeline using the email address or telephone number you added to your timeline
through your Privacy Settings.
But remember that people can still find you or a link to your timeline on Facebook
through other people and the things they share about you or through other posts, like if you are tagged in a friend's
photo or post something to a public page.
Your settings do not control whether people can find you or a link to your timeline when they
search for content they
have permission to see, like a photo or other story in which you’ve been tagged.
Access on phones and other devices
Once you share information with your friends and others, they may be able to sync it with or access it via their mobile
phones and other devices. For example, if you share a photo on Facebook, someone viewing that photo could save it
using Facebook tools or by other methods offered by their device or browser. Similarly, if you share your contact
information with someone or invite someone to an event, they may be able to use Facebook or third party applications
or devices to sync that
information. Or, if one of your friends has a Facebook application on one of their devices, your
information (such as the things you post or photos you share) may be stored on or accessed by their device.
You should only share information with people you trust because they will be able to save it or re-share it with others,
including when they sync the information to a
device.
Activity log
Your activity log is a place where you can go to view most of your information on Facebook, including things you’ve
hidden from your timeline. You can use this log to manage your content. For example, you can do things like delete
stories, change the audience of your stories or stop an application from publishing to your timeline on your behalf.
When you hide something from your timeline, you are not deleting it. This means that the story may be visible
elsewhere, like in your friends’ News Feed. If you
want to delete a story you posted, choose the delete option.
What your friends and others share about you

Links and Tags

Anyone can add a link to a story. Links are references to something on the Internet; anything from a website to a Page
or timeline on Facebook.
For example, if you are writing a story, you might include a link to a
blog you are referencing
or a link to the blogger’s Facebook timeline. If someone clicks on a link to another person’s timeline, they’ll only see
the things that they are allowed to see.
A tag is a special type of link to someone’s timeline that suggests that the tagged person add your story to their timeline.
In cases where the tagged person isn’t included in the audience of the story, it will add them so they can see it. Anyone
can tag you in anything. Once you are tagged, you and your friends will be able to see it (such as in News Feed or in
search).
You can choose whether a story you've been tagged in appears on your timeline. You can either approve each story
individually or approve all stories by your friends. If you approve a story and later change your mind, you can always
remove it from your timeline.
If you do not want someone to tag you, we encourage you to reach out to them and give them that feedback. If that does
not work, you can block them. This will prevent them from tagging you going forward.
Social reporting is a way for people to quickly and easily ask for help from someone they trust. Learn more at:
https://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=196124227075034&__adt=3&__att=iframe
If you are linked to in a private space (such as a message or a group) only the people who
can see the private space can
see the link. Similarly, if you are linked to a comment, only the people who can see the comment can see the
link.
7

Other information

As described in the "what your friends and others share about you"
section of this policy, your friends and others may
share information about you. They may share photos or other information about you and tag you in their posts. If you
do not like a particular post, tell them or report the post.
Groups
Once you are in a Group, anyone in that Group can add you to a subgroup. When someone adds you to a Group, you
will be listed as “invited” until you visit the Group. You can always leave a Group, which will prevent others from
adding you to it again.
Pages
Facebook Pages are public pages. Companies use Pages to share information about their products. Celebrities use Pages
to talk about their latest projects. And communities use Pages to discuss topics of interest, everything from baseball to
the opera.
Because Pages are public, information you share with a Page is public
information. This means, for example, that if you
post a comment on a Page, that comment may be used by the Page owner off Facebook, and anyone can see it.
When you "like" a Page, you create a connection to that Page. The connection is added to your timeline and your friends
may see it in their News Feeds. You may be contacted by or receive updates from the Page, such as in your News Feed
and your messages. You can remove the Pages you've "liked" through your timeline or on the Page.
Some Pages contain content that comes directly from the Page owner. Page owners can do this through online plugins,
such as an iframe, and it works just like the games and other applications you use through Facebook. Because this
content comes directly from the Page owner, that Page may be able to collect information about you, just like any

website.
Page administrators
may have access to insights data, which will tell them generally about the people that visit their
Page (as opposed to information about specific people). They may also know when you’ve made a connection
to their
Page because you’ve liked their Page or posted a comment.
To control who can see the Facebook Pages you've liked, visit our Help Center.
III. Other websites and applications
About Facebook Platform
Facebook Platform (or simply Platform) refers to the way we help you share your information with the games,
applications, and websites you and your friends use. Facebook Platform also lets you bring your friends
with you, so
you can connect with them off Facebook. In these two ways,
Facebook Platform helps you make your experiences on
the web more personalized and social.
Remember that these games, applications and websites are created and maintained by other businesses and developers
who are not part of, or controlled by, Facebook, so you should always make sure to read their terms of service and
privacy policies to understand how they treat your data.
Controlling what information you share with applications
When you connect with a game, application or website - such as by going to a game, logging in to a website using your
Facebook account, or
adding an app to your timeline - we give the game, application, or website (sometimes referred to
as just "applications" or "apps") your basic info (we sometimes call this your "public profile"), which includes your
User ID and your public information. We also give them your friends' User IDs (also called your friend list) as part of
your basic info.
8

Your friend list helps the application make your experience more social because it lets you find your friends on that
application. Your User ID helps the application personalize your
experience because it can connect your account on
that application with
your Facebook account, and it can access your basic info, which includes your public information
and friend list. This includes the information you choose to make public, as well as information that is always publicly
available.
If the application needs additional information, such as your stories, photos or likes, it will have to ask you
for specific permission.
The “Apps”
setting lets you control the applications you use. You can see the permissions you have given these
applications, the last time an application accessed your information, and the audience on Facebook for timeline stories
and activity the application posts on your behalf. You can also remove applications you no longer want, or turn off all

Platform applications. When you turn all Platform applications off, your
User ID is no longer given to applications,
even when your friends use those applications. But you will no longer be able to use any games, applications or
websites through Facebook.
When you first visit an app, Facebook lets the app know your language, your country, and whether
you are in an age
group, for instance, under 18, between 18-20, or 21 and over. Age range lets apps provide you with age-appropriate
content. If you install the app, it can access, store and update the information you’ve shared. Apps you’ve installed can
update their records of your basic info, age range, language and country. If you haven’t used an app in a while, you
should consider removing it. Once you remove an app, it won’t be able to continue to update the
additional information
you’ve given them permission to access, but it may still hold the information you have already shared. You always can
contact the app directly and request that they delete your data. Learn more at: https://www.facebook.com/help/howapps-work
Sometimes a game console, mobile phone, or other device might ask for permission to share
specific information with
the games and applications you use on that device. If you say okay, those applications will not be able to access any
other information about you without asking specific permission from you or your friends.
Sites and apps that use Instant Personalization receive your User ID and friend list when you visit them.
You always can remove apps you’ve installed by using your app settings at: https://www.facebook.com/settings/?
tab=applications.
But remember, apps may still be able to access your information when the people you share with use
them. And, if you’ve removed an application and want it to delete the information you’ve already shared with it, you
should contact the application. Visit the application’s page on Facebook or its own website to learn more about the app.
For example, Apps may have reasons (e.g. legal obligations) to retain some data that you share with them.
Controlling what is shared when the people you share with use applications
Just like when you share information by email or elsewhere on the web, information you share on Facebook can be reshared. This means that
if you share something on Facebook, anyone who can see it can share it with others, including
the games, applications, and websites they use.
Your friends and the other people you share information with often want to share your information with applications to
make their experiences on those applications more personalized and social. For example, one of your friends might
want to use a music application that allows them to see what their friends are listening to. To get the full benefit of that
application, your friend would want to give the application her friend list – which includes your User ID – so the
application knows which of her friends is also using it. Your friend might also want to share the music you “like” on

Facebook. If you have made that information public, then the application
can access it just like anyone else. But if
you’ve shared your likes with just your friends, the application could ask your friend for permission to share them.
You can control most of the information other people can share with applications they use from the “App” settings page.
But these controls do not let you limit access to your public information and friend list.
If you want to completely block applications from getting your information when your friends and others use them, you
will need to turn
off all Platform applications. This means that you will no longer be able to use any third-party
Facebook-integrated games, applications or websites.
If an application asks permission from someone else to access your information, the application will be allowed to use
9

that information only in connection with the person that gave the permission, and no one else.
For example, some apps use information such as your friends list, to personalize your experience or show you which of
your friends use that particular app.
Logging in to another site using Facebook
Facebook Platform lets you log into other applications and websites using your Facebook account. When you log in
using Facebook, we give the
site your User ID (just like when you connect with any other application), but we do not
share your email address or password with that website through this process without your permission.
If you already have an account on that website, the site may also be able to connect that account with your Facebook
account. Sometimes it does this using what is called an "email hash", which is similar to searching for someone on
Facebook using an email address. Only the email
addresses in this case are hashed so no email addresses are actually

shared between Facebook and the website.
How it works

The website sends over a hashed version of your email address, and we match it with a database of email addresses that
we have also hashed. If
there is a match, then we tell the website the User ID associated with the email address. This
way, when you log into the website using Facebook, the website can link your Facebook account to your account on

that website.
About social plugins
Social plugins are buttons, boxes, and stories (such as the Like button) that other websites can use to present Facebook
content to you and create more social and personal experiences for you. While you view these buttons, boxes, and
stories on other sites, the content comes directly from Facebook.
Sometimes plugins act just like applications. You can spot one of these plugins because it will ask you for permission to
access your information or to publish information back to Facebook. For example, if you use a registration plugin on a
website, the plugin will ask your permission to share your basic info with the website to make it easier for you to
register for the website. Similarly, if you use an "Add To Timeline" plugin, the plugin will ask for your permission to
publish stories about your activities on that website to Facebook.
If you make something public using a plugin, such as posting a public
comment on a newspaper's website, then that
website can access your comment (along with your User ID) just like everyone else.
If you post something using a social plugin and you do not see a sharing icon, you should assume that story is Public.
For example, if you post a comment through a
Facebook comment plugin on a site, your story is Public and everyone,

including the website, can see your story.
Websites that use social
plugins can sometimes tell that you have engaged with the social plugin. For example, they
may know that you clicked on a Like button in a
social plugin.
We receive data when you
visit a site with a social plugin. We keep this data for a maximum of 90 days. After that, we
remove your name and any other personally identifying information from the data, or combine it with other people's
data in a way that it is no longer associated with you. Learn more at: https://www.facebook.com/help/social-plugins
About instant personalization
Instant personalization (sometimes also referred to as "Start now") is a way for Facebook to help partners (such as Bing
and
Rotten Tomatoes) on and off Facebook to create a more personalized and social experience for logged in users than
a social plugin
can offer. When you visit a site or app using instant personalization, it will know some information
about you and your friends the moment you arrive. This is because sites and apps using instant personalization can
access your User ID, your friend list, and your public information.
The first time you visit a site or app using instant personalization,
you will see a notification letting you know that the
10

site or app has partnered with Facebook to provide a personalized experience.
The notification will give you the ability to disable or turn off instant personalization for that site or app. If you do that,
that site or app is required to delete all of the information about you it received from Facebook as part of the instant
personalization program. In addition, we will prevent that site from accessing your information in the future, even when
your friends use that site.
If you decide that you do not want to experience instant personalization for all partner sites and apps, you can disable
instant personalization from the “Apps” settings page.
If you turn off instant personalization, these partner third party sites and apps will not be able to access your public
information, even when your friends visit those sites.
If you turn off an instant personalization site or app after you have been using it or visited it a few times (or after you
have given it specific permission to access your data), it will not automatically delete information about
you it received
through Facebook. Like all other apps, the site is required by our policies to delete information about you if you ask it

to do so.
How it works

To join the instant personalization program, a potential partner must enter into an agreement with us designed to protect
your privacy. For example, this agreement requires that the partner delete information about you if you turn off instant
personalization when you first visit the site or app. It also prevents the partner from accessing any information about
you until you or your friends visit its site.
Instant personalization partners sometimes use an email hash process to see if any of their users are on Facebook and get
those users' User IDs. This process is similar to searching for someone on Facebook using an email address, except in
this case, the email addresses are hashed so no actual email addresses are exchanged. The partner is also contractually
required not to use your User ID for any purpose (other than associating it with your account) until you or your friends
visit the site.
When you visit a site or app using instant personalization, we provide the site or app with your User ID and your friend
list (as well as your age range, locale, and gender). The site or app can then connect
your account with your friends'
accounts to make the site or app instantly social. The site can also access public information associated
with any of the
User IDs it receives, which it can use to make them instantly personalized. For example, if the site is a music site, it can

access your music interests to suggest songs you may like, and access your friends' music interests to let you know
what they are listening to. Of course it can only access your or your friends’ music interests if they are public. If the site
or app wants any additional information, it will have to get your specific permission.
Public search engines
Your public search setting controls whether people who enter your name on a public search engine may see your public
timeline (including in sponsored results). You can find your
public search setting on the “Privacy Settings and Tools”
settings page.
This setting does not apply to search engines that access your information as an application using Facebook Platform.
If you turn your public search setting off and then search for yourself on a public search engine, you may still see a
preview of your timeline. This is because some search engines cache information for a period of time. You can learn
more about how to request a search engine to remove you from cached information at:
https://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=13323
IV. Advertising and Facebook content
Advertising
Facebook offers a range of products
that allow advertisers to reach people on and off Facebook. In addition
to the
11

information we provide in this section, you can also learn more about advertising products, how they work, our
partnerships, and the controls you have, by visiting our “Advertising on Facebook” page.
When we deliver ads, we do not share your information (information that personally identifies you, such as your name
or contact information) with advertisers unless you give us permission. We may provide advertisers with information
when we have removed your name and other personally identifying information from it, or combined it with other
information so that it no longer personally identifies you. For example, we may tell an advertiser how its ads perform or
how many people viewed or clicked on their ads or install an app after seeing an ad.
So we can show you content that you may find interesting, we may use all of the information we receive about you to
serve ads that are more relevant to you. For example, this includes:
information you provide at registration or add to your account or timeline,
things you share and do on Facebook, such as what you like, and your interactions with advertisements, partners,
or apps,
keywords from your stories, and
things we infer from your use of Facebook.
For many ads we serve, advertisers may choose their audience by location, demographics, likes, keywords, and any
other information we receive or infer about users. Here are some of the ways advertisers may target relevant ads:
demographics and interests: for example, 18 to 35 year-old women who live in the United States and like
basketball;
topics or keywords: for example, “music” or people who like a particular song or artist;
Page likes (including topics such as products, brands, religion,
health status, or political views): for example, if
you like a Page about gluten-free food, you may receive ads about relevant food products; or
categories (including things like "moviegoer" or a "sci-fi fan"): for example, if a person "likes" the "Star Trek"
Page and mentions "Star Wars" when they check into a movie theater, we may infer that this person is likely to
be a sci-fi fan and advertisers of sci-fi movies could ask us to target that category.
In addition to delivering relevant ads, Facebook sometimes pairs ads with social context,
meaning stories about social
actions that you or your friends have taken. For example, an ad for a sushi restaurant’s Facebook Page may be paired
with a News Feed story that one of your friends likes that
Page.
We also sometimes serve these same types of ads on other sites or may serve just the social context (such as with ads
served by others), so that the ads are more relevant to you. Just like any other content you share on Facebook, only
people who you’re already sharing with
on Facebook would see it when it is paired with an ad. We also allow

advertisers to reach people on Facebook using the information they already have about you (such as email addresses or
whether you have visited their websites previously). You can learn more about ads, social
context, and our partnerships,
including the relevant settings and controls available to you, by visiting the Advertising on Facebook page.
If an advertiser chooses to run ads, we serve the ads to people who meet criteria the advertiser selects. So, if someone
views or otherwise interacts with the
ad, the advertiser might assume that the person meets the criteria they
selected (for
example, that the person is an 18-to-35-year-old woman who lives in the U.S. and likes basketball). We require
advertisers to comply with our Advertising Guidelines, including provisions relating to the use of sensitive data.
Advertisers and their partners sometimes use cookies or other similar technologies in order to serve and measure ads
and to make their ads more effective. Learn more about cookies, pixels and similar technologies.
When you post a story on Facebook and an advertiser sponsors it,
nothing changes about the audience of the post. Only
the people who could originally see the post (the people you shared it with) are eligible to see it.
Facebook content
We like to tell you about some of the features and tools your friends
and others use on Facebook, to help you have a
12

better experience. For example, if your friend uses our friend finder tool to find more friends
on Facebook, we may tell
you about it to encourage you to use it as well. This of course means your friend may similarly see suggestions based
on the things you do. But we will try to only show it to friends that could benefit from your experience.
V. Cookies, pixels and other similar technologies
Cookies are small pieces of data that are stored on your computer, mobile phone or other device. Pixels are small blocks
of code on webpages that do things like allow another server to measure viewing of a
webpage and often are used in
connection with cookies.
We use technologies like cookies, pixels, and local storage (like on your browser or device, which is similar to a cookie
but holds more information) to provide and understand a range of products and services. Learn more at:
https://www.facebook.com/help/cookies

We use these technologies to do things like:
make Facebook easier or faster to use;
enable features and store information about you (including on your device or in your browser cache) and your use
of Facebook;
deliver, understand and improve advertising;
monitor and understand the use of our products and services; and
protect you, others and Facebook.
For example, we may use these tools to know you are logged in to Facebook, to help you use social plugins and share
buttons, or to know when you are interacting with our advertising or Platform partners.
We may ask advertisers or other partners to serve ads or services to computers, mobile phones or other devices, which
may use a cookie, pixel
or other similar technology placed by Facebook or the third party (although we would not share
information that personally identifies you with an advertiser).
Most companies on the web use cookies (or other similar technological
tools), including our advertising and Platform
partners. For example, our Platform partners, advertisers or Page administrators may use cookies or similar
technologies when you access their apps, ads, Pages or other content.
Cookies and things like local storage help make Facebook work, like allowing pages to load faster because certain
content is stored on your browser or by helping us authenticate you to deliver personalized content.
To learn more about how advertisers generally use cookies and the choices advertisers provide, visit the Network
Advertising Initiative at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp, the Digital Advertising Alliance at
http://www.aboutads.info/, the Internet Advertising Bureau (US) at http://www.iab.net or the Internet Advertising
Bureau (EU) at http://youronlinechoices.eu/.
Refer to your browser or
device's help material to learn what controls you can often use to remove or block cookies or
other similar technologies or block or remove
other data stored on your computer or device (such as by using the

various settings in your browser). If you do this, it may affect your ability to use Facebook or other websites and apps.

Responding to legal requests and preventing harm

We may access, preserve and share your information in response to a legal request (like a search warrant, court order or
subpoena) if we have a good faith belief that the law requires us to do so. This may include responding to legal requests
from jurisdictions outside of the United States where we have a good faith belief that the response is required by law in
that jurisdiction, affects users in that jurisdiction, and is consistent with internationally recognized standards. We may
also access, preserve and share information when we have a good faith belief it is necessary to: detect, prevent and
address
fraud and other illegal activity; to protect ourselves, you and others,
including as part of investigations; or to
prevent death or imminent bodily harm.
Information we receive about you, including financial transaction data related to purchases made with Facebook, may

be accessed, processed and retained for an extended period of time when it is the subject of a legal request or
obligation, governmental investigation, or investigations concerning possible violations of our terms or policies, or
otherwise to prevent harm. We also may retain information from accounts disabled for violations of our terms for at

least a year to prevent repeat abuse or other violations of our terms.
Access requests
You can access and correct most of your personal data stored by Facebook by logging into your account and viewing
your timeline and activity log. You can also download a copy of your personal data by visiting your
“Settings” (General
Account Settings page), clicking on “Download a copy of your Facebook data” and then clicking on the link for your

expanded archive. Learn more at: https://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=226281544049399
Notifications and Other Messages

We may send you notifications and other messages using the contact information we have for you, like your email
address. You can control most of the notifications you receive, including ones from Pages you like and applications you
use, using controls we provide, such as a control included in the email you receive or in your “Notifications” settings.
Friend Finder

We offer tools to help you upload your friends' contact information so that you and others can find friends on
Facebook, and invite friends who
do not use Facebook to join, and so we can offer you and others better experiences on
Facebook through suggestions and other customized experiences. If you do not want us to store this information, visit
this
help page at: https://www.facebook.com/contact_importer/remove_uploads.php.
If you give us your password, we will delete it after you upload your friends' contact information.
Invitations

When you invite a friend to join Facebook, we send a message on your behalf using your name, and we may also
include names and pictures of other people your friend might know on Facebook. We'll also send a few reminders to
those you invite, but the invitation will also give your friend the opportunity to opt out of receiving other invitations to
join
Facebook.
Memorializing accounts

We may memorialize the account of a deceased person. When we memorialize
an account, we keep the timeline on
Facebook, but limit access and some
features. You can report a deceased person's timeline at:
https://www.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=deceased
We also may close an account if we receive a formal request that satisfies certain criteria.
Affiliates

We may share information we receive with businesses that are legally part of the same group of companies that
Facebook is part of, or that become part of that group (often these companies are called affiliates).
Likewise, our
14

affiliates may share information with us as well. This sharing is done in compliance with applicable laws including
where such applicable laws require consent. We and our affiliates may use shared information to help provide,
understand, and improve our services and their own services.
Service Providers

We give your information to the people and companies that help us provide, understand and improve the services we
offer. For example, we may use outside vendors to help host our website, serve photos and videos, process payments,
analyze data, conduct and publish research, measure the effectiveness of ads, or provide search results. In some cases
we provide the service jointly with another company, such as the Facebook Marketplace. In all of these cases our
partners must agree to only use your information consistent with the agreement we enter into with them, as well as this
Data Use Policy.

Security and bugs

We do our best to keep your information secure, but we need your help. For more detailed information about staying
safe on Facebook, visit the Facebook Security Page. We try to keep Facebook up, bug-free and safe, but can’t make
guarantees about any part of our services or products.
Change of Control

If the ownership of our business changes, we may transfer your information to the new owner so they can continue to
operate the service. But they will still have to honor the commitments we have made in this Data Use Policy.
Notice of Changes

If we make changes to this Data Use Policy we will notify you (for example, by publication here and on the Facebook
Site Governance Page).
If the changes are material, we will provide you additional, prominent notice as appropriate
under the circumstances. You can make sure that you receive notice directly by liking the Facebook Site Governance
Page.
Opportunity to comment

Unless we make a change for legal or administrative reasons, or to correct an inaccurate statement, we will give you
seven (7) days to provide us with comments on the change. After the comment period, if we adopt any changes, we will
provide notice (for example, on the Facebook Site Governance Page or in this policy) of the effective date.

I. Information we receive and how it is used
Information we receive about you
We receive a number of different types of information about you, including:
Your information
Your information is the information that's required when you sign up for the site, as well as the information you choose to share.
Registration information: When you sign up for Facebook, you are required to provide your name, email address, birthday, and gender.
Information you choose to share: Your information also includes the information you choose to share on Facebook, such as when you post a status update, upload a photo, or
comment on a friend's post.
It also includes the information you choose to share when you take an action, such as when you add a friend, like a Page or a website, tag a place in your post, find fr ends using our
contact importers, or indicate you are in a relationship.
Your name, profile picture, networks, username and User ID are treated just like information you choose to make public.
Your birthday allows us to do things like show you age-appropriate content and advertisements.
Information others share about you
We receive information about you from your fr ends, such as when they tag you in a photo or at a location, or add you to a group.
We may also receive information about you from the games, applications, and websites you use, but only when you have given them permiss on. If you have given a game, application,
or website permission to post information on your Wall, you can remove it from your “Apps you use” setting.
Other information we receive about you
We also receive other types of informat on about you:
We receive data about you whenever you interact with Facebook, such as when you look at another person's profile, send someone a message, search for a friend or a Page, click on
an ad, or purchase Facebook Credits.
When you post things like photos or videos on Facebook, we may receive add tional related data (or metadata), such as the time, date, and place you took the photo or video.
We receive data from the computer, mobile phone or other device you use to access Facebook. This may include your IP address, location, the type of browser you use, or the pages
you visit. For example, we may get your GPS location so we can tell you if any of your friends are nearby.
We receive data whenever you visit a game, application, or website that uses Facebook Platform or visit a site with a Facebook feature (such as a social plugin). This may include the
date and time you visit the site; the web address, or URL, you're on; technical information about the IP address, browser and the operating system you use; and, if you are logged in
to Facebook, your User ID.
Sometimes we get data from our advertising partners, customers and other third parties that helps us (or them) deliver ads, understand online activ ty, and generally make Facebook
better. For example, an advertiser may tell us how you responded to an ad on Facebook or on another site in order to measure the effectiveness of - and improve the quality of those ads.
We also put together data from the information we already have about you and your friends. For example, we may put together data about you to determine which friends we should
show you in your News Feed or suggest you tag in the photos you post. We may put together your current city with GPS and other location information we have about you to, for
example, tell you and your fr ends about people or events nearby, or offer deals to you that you might be interested in. We may also put together data about you to serve you ads that
might be more relevant to you.
When we get your GPS location, we put it together w th other location informat on we have about you (like your current city). But we only keep it until t is no longer useful to
prov de you services.
We only provide data to our advertising partners or customers after we have removed your name or any other personally identifying information from it, or have combined it with
other people's data in a way that it is no longer associated w th you. Similarly, when we receive data about you from our advertising partners or customers, we keep the data for 180
days. After that, we combine the data with other people's data in a way that it is no longer associated with you.
Public information

1

When we use the phrase "public information" (which we sometimes refer to as "Everyone information"), we mean the information you choose to make public, as well as informat on
that is always publicly available.
Information you choose to make public
Choosing to make your informat on public is exactly what it sounds like: anyone, including people off of Facebook, will be able to see it.
Choosing to make your informat on public also means that this information:
can be associated with you (i.e., your name, profile picture, Facebook profile, User ID, etc.) even off Facebook
can show up when someone does a search on Facebook or on a public search engine
will be accessible to the games, applicat ons, and websites you and your friends use
will be accessible to anyone who uses our APIs such as our Graph API.
Sometimes you will not be able to select an aud ence when you post something (like when you write on a Page's wall or comment on a news article that uses our comments plugin).
This is because some types of posts are always public posts. As a general rule, you should assume that if you do not see a sharing icon, the information will be publicly available.
When others share information about you, they can also choose to make it public.
Information that is always publicly available
The types of informat on listed below are always publicly available, and are treated just like information you decided to make public.
Name: This helps your friends and family find you. If you are uncomfortable sharing your real name, you can always deactivate or delete your account.
Profile Pictures: This helps your friends and family recognize you. If you are uncomfortable making your profile picture public, you can always delete it by hovering over your photo
and clicking "Change Picture."
Network: This helps you see whom you will be sharing information with before you choose "Friends and Networks" as a custom aud ence. If you are uncomfortable making your
network public, you can leave the network.
Username and User ID: These allow you to give out a custom link to your profile or Page, receive email at your Facebook email address, and help make Facebook Platform possible.
Usernames and User IDs
A Username (or Facebook URL) is a custom link to your profile that you can give out to people or post on external websites. If you have selected a username, it will always appear in
the URL on your profile page. If you have not selected a username, then the URL on your profile page will contain your User ID, which is what we use to identify your Facebook account.
If someone has your Username or User ID, they can use it to access information about you through the facebook.com website. For example, if someone has your Username, they can
type facebook.com/Username into their browser and see your public information as well as anything else you've let them see. Similarly, someone w th your Username or User ID can
access informat on about you through our APIs, such as our Graph API. Specifically, they can access your public information, along with your age range, locale (or language) and
gender.
If you do not want your information to be accessible through our APIs, you can turn off all Platform applicat ons from your Privacy Settings. If you turn off Platform you will no longer
be able to use any games or other applications.
If you want to see information available about you through our Graph API, just type https://graph.facebook.com/[User ID or Username]?metadata=1 into your browser.
When you sign up for a Facebook email address, you will first have to select a public username. Your email address will include your public username like so:
[e-mail]. You can control who can send you messages using your “How You Connect” settings.
How we use the information we receive
We use the information we receive about you in connection with the services and features we provide to you and other users like your friends, the advertisers that purchase ads on the
site, and the developers that build the games, applications, and websites you use. For example, we may use the information we receive about you:
as part of our efforts to keep Facebook safe and secure;
to prov de you with location features and services, like telling you and your friends when something is going on nearby;
to measure or understand the effectiveness of ads you and others see;
to make suggestions to you and other users on Facebook, such as: suggesting that your friend use our contact importer because you found friends using t, suggesting that another
user add you as a friend because the user imported the same email address as you did, or suggesting that your friend tag you in a picture they have uploaded with you in it.
Granting us this permission not only allows us to provide Facebook as it exists today, but t also allows us to prov de you with innovative features and services we develop in the
future that use the informat on we receive about you in new ways.
While you are allowing us to use the information we receive about you, you always own all of your informat on. Your trust is important to us, which is why we don't share information
we receive about you w th others unless we have:
received your permission;
given you notice, such as by telling you about it in this policy; or
removed your name or any other personally identifying information from t.
We are able to suggest that your friend tag you in a picture by comparing your friend's pictures to information we've put together from the photos you've been tagged in. You can
control whether we suggest that another user tag you in a photo using the “How Tags work” settings.
Deleting and deactivating your account
If you want to stop using your account, you can e ther deactivate or delete t.
Deactivate
Deactivating your account puts your account on hold. Other users will no longer see your profile, but we do not delete any of your information. Deactivating an account is the same as
you telling us not to delete any information because you might want to reactivate your account at some point in the future. You can deactivate your account at:
https://www.facebook.com/editaccount.php
Deletion
When you delete an account, it is permanently deleted from Facebook. It typically takes about one month to delete an account, but some information may remain in backup copies and
logs for up to 90 days. You should only delete your account if you are sure you never want to reactivate it. You can delete your account at:
https://www.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=delete_account
II. Sharing and finding you on Facebook
Control each time you post
Whenever you post content (like a status update, photo or check-in), you can select a specific audience, or even customize your audience. To do this, simply click on the sharing icon
and choose who can see it.
2

Choose this icon if you want to make something Public. Choosing to make something public is exactly what it sounds like. It means that anyone, including people off of
Facebook, will be able to see or access it.
Choose this icon if you want to share with your Facebook Friends.
Choose this icon if you want to Customize your audience. You can also use this to hide your post from specific people.
If you do not make a selection, your information will be shared with the last audience you selected. If you want to change your selection later you can do that too on your profile.
If you tag someone, that person and their friends can see your post no matter what audience you selected. The same is true when you approve a tag someone else adds to your post.
Always think before you post. Just like anything else you post on the web or send in an email, information you share on Facebook can be copied or re-shared by anyone who can see
it.
When you comment on or "like" someone else's post, or write on their Wall, that person gets to select the audience.
You can control who can see the Facebook Pages you've "liked" by visiting your profile and clicking "Edit Profile."
Sometimes you will not see a sharing icon when you post something (like when you wr te on a Page's wall or comment on a news article that uses our comments plugin). This is
because some types of posts are always public posts. As a general rule, you should assume that if you do not see a sharing icon, the informat on will be publicly available.
Control over your profile
Whenever you add things to your profile you can select a specific audience, or even customize your audience. To do this, simply click on the sharing icon and choose who can see t.
Choose this icon if you want to make something Public. Choosing to make something public is exactly what it sounds like. It means that anyone, including people off of
Facebook, will be able to see or access it.
Choose this icon if you want to share with your Facebook Friends.
Choose this icon if you want to Customize your audience. You can also use this to hide the item on your profile from specific people.
When you select an aud ence for your friend list, you are only controlling who can see t on your profile. We call this a profile visibility control. This is because your friend list is always
available to the games, applications and websites you use, and your friendships may be visible elsewhere (such as on your friends' profiles or in searches). For example, if you select
"Only Me" as the audience for your fr end list, but your friend sets her friend list to "Public," anyone will be able to see your connection on your friend's profile.
Similarly, if you choose to hide your gender, it only h des it on your profile. This is because we, just like the applications you and your friends use, need to use your gender to refer to
you properly on the site.
When someone tags you in a post (such as a photo, status update or check-in), you can choose whether you want that post to appear on your profile. You can e ther approve each
post individually or approve all posts by your fr ends. If you approve a post and later change your mind, you can remove it from your profile.
To make it easier for your friends to find you, we allow anyone with your contact informat on (such as your email address or mobile number), to find you through Facebook search,
as well as other tools we provide, such as contact importers.
If you share your contact information (such as your email address or mobile number) with your friends, they may be able to use third party applications to sync that information w th
other address books, including ones on their mobile phones.
Some things (like your name and profile picture) do not have sharing icons because they are always publicly available. As a general rule, you should assume that if you do not see a
sharing icon, the information will be publicly available.
What your friends share about you
Tags
A tag is a link to your profile. For example, if you are tagged in a post (such as a photo or a status update), that post will contain a link to your profile. If someone clicks on the link,
they will see your public information and anything else you let them see.
Anyone can tag you in anything. Once you are tagged in a post, you and your friends will be able to see it. For example, your friends may be able to see the post in their News Feed or
when they search for you. It may also appear on your profile.
You can choose whether a post you've been tagged in appears on your profile. You can either approve each post indiv dually or approve all posts by your friends. If you approve a post
and later change your mind, you can always remove it from your profile.
If you do not want someone to tag you in their posts, we encourage you to reach out to them and give them that feedback. If that does not work, you can block them. This will prevent
them from tagging you going forward.
If you are tagged in a private space (such as a message or a group) only the people who can see the private space can see the tag. Similarly, it you are tagged in a comment, only the
people who can see the comment can see the tag.
Groups
Your friends can add you to the Groups they are in. You can always leave a Group, which will prevent others from adding you to it again.
About Pages
Facebook Pages are public pages. Companies use Pages to share information about their products. Celebr t es use Pages to talk about their latest projects. And communities use
pages to discuss topics of interest, everything from baseball to the opera.
Because Pages are public, informat on you share with a Page is public information. This means, for example, that if you post a comment on a Page, that comment can be used by the
Page owner off of Facebook, and anyone can see t.
When you "like" a Page, you create a connection to that Page. That connection is added to your profile and your friends may see it in their News Feeds. You may also receive updates
from the Page in your News Feed and your messages. You can remove the Pages you've "liked" from your profile.
Some Pages contain content that comes directly from the Page owner. Page owners can do this through online plugins, such as an iframe, and it works just like the games and other
applications you use through Facebook. Because this content comes directly from the Page owner, that Page may be able to collect informat on about you, just like any website.
III. Sharing with other websites and applications
About Facebook Platform
Facebook Platform (or simply Platform) refers to the way we help you share your information with the games, applications, and websites you and your friends use. Facebook Platform
also lets you bring your friends with you, so you can connect with them off of Facebook. In these two ways, Facebook Platform helps you make your experiences on the web more
personalized and social.
Remember that these games, applications and websites are created and maintained by other businesses and developers who are not part of Facebook, so you should always make sure

3

to read their terms of service and privacy policies.
Controlling what information you share with applications
When you go to a game or applicat on, or connect with a website using Facebook Platform, we give the game, application, or website (sometimes referred to as just "Applications" or
"Apps") your User ID, as well your friends' User IDs (or your friend list).
Your friend list helps the application make your exper ence more social because it lets you find your friends on that application. Your User ID helps the application personalize your
experience because t can connect your account on that application with your Facebook account, and it can access your public informat on. This includes the information you choose
to make public, as well as information that is always publicly available. If the application needs additional informat on, it will have to ask you for specific permission.
The “Apps you use” setting lets you control the applicat ons you use. You can see the permiss ons you have given these applicat ons, as well as the last time an application accessed
your information. You can also remove applicat ons you no longer want, or turn off all Platform applicat ons. When you turn all Platform applications off, your User ID is no longer
given to applications, even when your friends use those applications. But you will no longer be able to use any games, applications or websites through Facebook.
Applications also get your age range, locale, and gender when you and your friends visit them. Age range (e.g., 18-21) lets applications provide you with age-appropriate content.
Locale (e.g., en-US) lets applications know what language you speak. Gender lets applications refer to you correctly. If you do not want applications to receive this information about
you, you can turn off all Facebook applications using your Privacy Settings.
Sometimes a game console, mobile phone, or other device might ask for permission to share specific information with the games and applications you use on that device (such as
your public information). If you say okay, those applications will not be able to access any other information about you without asking specific permission from you or your friends.
Instant Personalization sites receive your User ID and friend list when you visit them.
Controlling what is shared when the people you share with use applications
Just like when you share information by email or elsewhere on the web, information you share on Facebook can be re-shared. This means that if you share something on Facebook,
anyone who can see it can share it with others, including the games, applicat ons, and websites they use.
Your friends and the other people you share information with often want to share your information with applications to make their experiences on those application more personalized
and social. For example, one of your fr ends might want to use a music application that allows them to see what their friends are listening to. To get the full benefit of that application,
your friend would want to give the application her friend list – which includes your User ID – so the application knows which of her fr ends is also using it. Your friend might also want
to share the music you “like” on Facebook. If you have made that information public, then the application can access t just like anyone else. But if you’ve shared your likes with just
your friends, the application could ask your friend for permiss on to share them.
You can control most of the information other people can share with applications from the “Apps and Websites” settings page. But these controls do not let you limit access to your
public informat on and friend list.
If you want to completely block applications from getting your information, you will need to turn off all Platform applications. This means that you will no longer be able to use any
games, applicat ons or websites.
If an application asks permission from someone else to access your information, the application will be allowed to use that information only in connection with the person that gave
the permiss on and no one else.
Logging in to another site using Facebook
Facebook Platform also lets you log into other applications and websites using your Facebook account. When you log in using Facebook, we give the s te your User ID, but we do not
share your email address or password with that website.
If you already have an account on that website, the site may also be able to connect that account with your Facebook account. Sometimes it does this using what is called an "email
hash", which is similar to searching for someone on Facebook using an email address. Only the email addresses in this case are encrypted so no email addresses are actually shared
between Facebook and the website.
How it works
The webs te sends over an encrypted version of your email address, and we match it with a database of email addresses that we have also encrypted. If there is a match, then we tell
the website the User ID associated with the email address. This way, when you log into the website using Facebook, the website can link your Facebook account to your account on
that website.
About social plugins
Social plugins are buttons, boxes, and stories (such as the Like button) that other webs tes can use to present Facebook content to you and create more social and personal
experiences for you. While you view these buttons, boxes, and stories on other sites, the content comes directly from Facebook.
If you make something public using a plugin, such as posting a public comment on a newspaper's website, then that website can access your comment (along w th your User ID) just
like everyone else.
Websites that use social plugins can sometimes tell that you have engaged with the social plugin. For example, they may know that you clicked on a Like button in a social plugin.
We receive data when you visit a site w th a social plugin. We keep this data for 90 days. After that, we remove your name or any other personally identifying information from the
data, or combine it with other people's data in a way that it is no longer associated with you.
About instant personalization
Instant personalization is a way for Facebook to help partner sites (such as Bing and Rotten Tomatoes) create a more personalized and social experience than a social plugin can offer.
When you visit a site using instant personalization, it will know some information about you and your friends the moment you arrive. This is because instant personalization s tes can
access your User ID, your friend list, and your public information.
The first time you visit an instant personalizat on site, you will see a notification letting you know that the site has partnered with Facebook to provide a personalized experience.
The notification will give you the ability to disable or turn off instant personalization for that site. If you do that, that site is required to delete all of the information about you t
received from Facebook. In addition, we will prevent that site from accessing your information in the future, even when your friends use that s te.
If you dec de that you do not want to experience instant personalization for all partner sites, you can disable instant personalizat on from the “Apps and Websites” settings page.
If you turn off instant personalization, partner sites will not be able to access your public information, even when your fr ends visit those sites.
If you turn off an instant personalizat on site after you have been using it or visited it a few times (or after you have given it specific permission to access your data), it will not
automatically delete your data. But the site is contractually required to delete your data if you ask it to.
How it works
To join the instant personalization program, a potential partner must enter into an agreement with us designed to protect your privacy. For example, this agreement requires that the
partner delete your data if you turn off instant personalization when you first visit the site. It also prevents the partner from accessing any information about you until you or your
4

friends visit its site.
Instant personalization partners sometimes use an email hash process to see if any of their users are on Facebook and get those users' User IDs. This process is similar to searching
for someone on Facebook using an email address, except in this case the email addresses are encrypted so no actual email addresses are exchanged. The partner is also contractually
required not to use your User ID for any purpose (other than associating it with your account) until you or your friends visit the site.
When you visit an instant personalization site, we provide the site with your User ID and your friend list (as well as your age range, locale, and gender). The site can then connect your
account on that s te with your friends' accounts to make the site instantly social. The s te can also access public information associated with any of the User IDs t receives, which t
can use to make the site instantly personalized. For example, if the site is a music site, it can access your music interests to suggest songs you may like, and access your friends'
music interests to let you know what they are listening to. Of course it can only access you or your friends’ music interests if they are public. If the site wants any additional
information, it will have to get your specific permission.
Public search engines
Your Public Search setting controls whether people who enter your name on a public search engine may see your public profile (including in sponsored results). You can find your
Public Search setting on the “Apps and Websites” settings page. You can preview your public profile at: http://www.facebook.com/[Your Username or UserID]?p
This setting does not apply to search engines that access your information as an application using Facebook Platform.
If you turn your public search setting off and then search for yourself on a public search engine, you may still see a preview of your profile. This is because some search engines
cache information for a period of time. You can learn more about how to request a search engine to remove you from cached information at: https://www.facebook.com/help/?
faq=13323
IV. How Advertising Works
Personalized ads
We do not share any of your information w th advertisers (unless, of course, you give us permiss on).
When an advertiser creates an ad on Facebook, they are given the opportunity to choose their audience by location, demographics, likes, keywords, and any other information we
receive or can tell about you and other users. For example, an advertiser can choose to target 18 to 35 year-old women who live in the United States and like basketball.
Try this tool yourself to see one of the ways advertisers target ads and what information they see at: https://www.facebook.com/ads/create/
If the advertiser chooses to run the ad (also known as placing the order), we serve the ad to people who meet the criteria the advertiser selected, but we do not tell the advertiser who
any of those people are. So, for example, if a person clicks on the ad, the advertiser might infer that the person is an 18-to-35-year-old woman who lives in the US and likes
basketball. But we would not tell the advertiser who that person is.
After the ad runs, we provide advertisers with reports on how their ads performed. For example we give advertisers reports telling them how many users saw or clicked on their ads.
But these reports are anonymous. We do not tell advertisers who saw or clicked on their ads.
Advertisers sometimes place cookies on your computer in order to make their ads more effective. Learn more at: http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp
Sometimes we allow advertisers to target a category of user, like a "moviegoer" or a "sci-fi fan." We do this by bundling characteristics that we believe are related to the category.
For example, if a person "likes" the "Star Trek" Page and mentions "Star Wars" when they check into a movie theater, we may conclude that this person is likely to be a sci-fi fan.
Ads + social context
Facebook Ads are sometimes paired with social act ons your fr ends have taken. For example, an ad for a sushi restaurant may be paired w th a news story that one of your friends
likes that restaurant's Facebook page.
This is the same type of news story that could show up in your News Feed, only we place it next to a paid advertisement to make that ad more relevant and interesting.
When you show up in one of these news stories, we will only pair it with ads shown to your friends. If you do not want to appear in stories paired w th Facebook Ads, you can opt out
using your “Edit social ads” setting.
Learn what happens when you click "Like" on an advertisement or an advertiser's Facebook Page at: https://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=19399
We may serve ads w th social context (or serve just social context) on other sites. These work just like the ads we serve on Facebook - the advertisers do not receive any of your
information.
We sometimes allow businesses or anyone else to sponsor stories like the ones that show up in your News Feed, subject to the audience set for that story. While these are
sponsored, they are different from ads because they don't contain a message from the person that sponsored them. Your fr ends will see these stories even if you have opted out of
the "Show my social actions in Facebook Ads" setting
Your “Show my social actions in Facebook Ads” setting does not control ads about Facebook's services and features.
Games, applications and websites can serve ads directly to you if they have your User ID.
Sponsored stories
Many of the things you do on Facebook (like "liking" a Page) are posted to your Wall and shared in News Feed. But there's a lot to read in News Feed. That's why we allow people to
"sponsor" your stories to make sure your friends see them. For example, if you RSVP to an event hosted by a local restaurant, that restaurant may want to make sure your friends see it
so they can come too. If they do sponsor a story, that story will appear in the same place ads usually do under the heading "Sponsored Stories" or something similar. Only people that
could originally see the story can see the sponsored story, and no personal information about you (or your friends) is shared with the sponsor.
Featured content
We like to tell you about some of the features your friends use on Facebook to help you have a better exper ence. For example, if your friend uses our friend finder tool to find more
friends on Facebook, we may tell you about it to encourage you to use it as well. This of course means your friend may similarly see suggestions based on the things you do. But we
will try to only show it to friends that could benefit from your experience.
V. Minors and safety
We take safety issues very seriously, especially with children, and we encourage parents to teach their children about safe internet practices. To learn more, vis t our Safety Center.
To protect minors, we may put special safeguards in place (such as placing restrictions on the ability of adults to share and connect w th them), recognizing this may provide minors a
more limited experience on Facebook.
VI. Some other things you need to know
Safe harbor
Facebook complies w th the EU Safe Harbor framework as set forth by the Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retent on of data from the European Union. As
part of our participation in the Safe Harbor, we agree to resolve all disputes you have with us in connection w th our policies and practices through TRUSTe. To view our certification,

Responding to legal requests and preventing harm
We may share your information in response to a legal request (like a search warrant, court order or subpoena) if we have a good fa th belief that the law requires us to do so. This may
include responding to legal requests from jurisdictions outside of the United States where we have a good faith belief that the response is required by law in that jurisdict on, affects
users in that jurisdiction, and is consistent with internationally recognized standards. We may also share information when we have a good faith bel ef it is necessary to: detect,
prevent and address fraud and other illegal activity; to protect ourselves and you from violations of our Statement of Rights and Responsibil ties; and to prevent death or imminent
bodily harm.
Access requests
We provide initial responses to access requests w thin a reasonable period of time, typically within thirty days. You can also download a copy of everything you've put into Facebook by
visiting your “Account Settings” and clicking on “Download a copy of your Facebook data”.
Notifications and Other Messages
We may send you notificat ons and other messages using the contact information we have for you, like your email address. You can control most of the notificat ons you receive,
including ones from Pages you like and applications you use, using your “Notifications” settings.
Friend finder
We offer tools to help you upload your fr ends' contact information so that you can find your fr ends on Facebook, and invite friends who do not use Facebook to join. If you do not
want us to store this information, visit this help page at: https://www.facebook.com/contact_importer/remove_uploads.php
If you give us your password, we will delete it after you upload your friends' contact information.
Invitations
When you invite a friend to join Facebook, we send a message on your behalf using your name, and up to two reminders. We may also include names and pictures of other people your
friend might know on Facebook. The invitation will also give your friend the opportunity to opt out of receiving other invitations to join Facebook.
Memorializing accounts
We may memorialize the account of a deceased person. When we memorialize an account we keep the profile on Facebook, but only let fr ends and family look at pictures or write on
the user's Wall in remembrance. You can report a deceased person's profile at: https://www.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=deceased
We also may close an account if we receive a formal request from the person's next of kin.
Cookies
Cook es are small p eces of data that we store on your computer, mobile phone or other device to make Facebook easier to use, make our advertising better, and to protect you (and
Facebook). For example, we may use them to know you are logged in to Facebook, to help you use social plugins and share buttons, or to know when you are interacting with our
advertising or Platform partners. We may also ask advertisers to serve ads to computers, mobile phones or other devices with a cookie placed by Facebook (although we would not
share any other information with that advertiser). Most companies on the web use cookies (or similar technological methods), including our advertising and Platform partners. You can
always remove or block cook es (such as by using the settings in your browser), but it may affect your ability to use Facebook. Learn more at: https://www.facebook.com/help/?

Service Providers
We give your informat on to the people and companies that help us provide the services we offer. For example, we may use outside vendors to help host our website, serve photos and
videos, process payments, or provide search results. In some cases we provide the service jointly with another company, such as the Facebook Marketplace. In all of these cases our
partners must agree to only use your information consistent w th the agreement we enter into with them, as well as this privacy policy.
Security
We do our best to keep your information secure, but we need your help. For more detailed information about staying safe on Facebook, visit the Facebook Security Page.

Some other things you need to know
I. Information we receive and how it is used
Information we receive about you
We receive a number of different types of information about you, including:
Your information

Your information is the information that's required when you sign up for
the site, as well as the information you choose
to share.
Registration information: When you sign up for Facebook, you are required to provide your name, email
address, birthday, and gender.
Information you choose to share: Your information also includes the information you choose to share on
Facebook, such as when you post a status update, upload a photo, or comment on a friend's story.
It also includes the information you choose to share when you take an
action, such as when you add a friend, like a Page
or a website, add a place to your story, find friends using our contact importers, or indicate you are in a relationship.
Your name, profile pictures, cover photos, gender, networks, username and User ID are treated just like information
you choose to make public.

Your birthday allows us to do things like show you age-appropriate content and advertisements.
Information others share about you

We receive information about you from your friends and others, such as when they upload your contact information,
post a photo of you, tag you in a photo or status update, or at a location, or add you to a group.

When people use Facebook, they may store and share information about you and others that they have, such as when
they upload and manage their
invites and contacts.
Other information we receive about you

We also receive other types of information about you:
We receive data about you whenever you interact with Facebook, such as when you look at another person's
timeline, send or receive a message, search for a friend or a Page, click on, view or otherwise interact with things,
use a Facebook mobile app, or purchase Facebook Credits or make other purchases through Facebook.
When you post things like photos or videos on Facebook, we may receive additional related data (or metadata),
such as the time, date, and place you took the photo or video.
We receive data from the computer, mobile phone or other device you use to access Facebook, including when
multiple users log in from the same device. This may include your IP address and other information about things
like your internet service, location, the type (including identifiers) of browser you use, or the pages you visit. For
example, we
may get your GPS or other location information so we can tell you if any of your friends are nearby.
We receive data whenever you visit a game, application, or website that uses Facebook Platform or visit a site
with a Facebook feature (such as a social plugin), sometimes through cookies.
This may include the date and time
you visit the site; the web address,
or URL, you're on; technical information about the IP address, browser and
the operating system you use; and, if you are logged in to Facebook,
your User ID.
Sometimes we get data from our advertising partners, customers and other third parties that helps us (or them)
deliver ads, understand online activity, and generally make Facebook better. For example, an advertiser may tell
us information about you (like how you responded to an ad on Facebook or on another site) in order to measure
the effectiveness of - and improve the quality of - ads.
2

We also put together data from the information we already have about you and your friends. For example, we may put
together data about you to
determine which friends we should show you in your News Feed or suggest
you tag in the
photos you post. We may put together your current city with GPS and other location information we have about you to,
for example, tell you and your friends about people or events nearby, or offer deals to you that you might be interested
in. We may also put together data about you to serve you ads that might be more relevant to you.
When we get your GPS location, we put it together with other location information we have about you (like your
current city). But we only keep
it until it is no longer useful to provide you services, like keeping your last GPS
coordinates to send you relevant notifications.
We
only provide data to our advertising partners or customers after we have removed your name or any other
personally identifying information from it, or have combined it with other people's data in a way that it is no longer
associated with you.
Public information
When we use the phrase "public information" (which we sometimes refer
to as "Everyone information"), we mean the
information you choose to make public, as well as information that is always publicly available.
Information you choose to make public

Choosing to make your information public is exactly what it sounds like: anyone, including people off of Facebook,
will be able to see it.

Choosing to make your information public also means that this information:
can be associated with you (i.e., your name, profile pictures, cover
photos, timeline, User ID, username, etc.) even
off Facebook;
can show up when someone does a search on Facebook or on a public search engine;
will be accessible to the Facebook-integrated games, applications, and websites you and your friends use; and
will be accessible to anyone who uses our APIs such as our Graph API.
Sometimes you will not be able to select an audience when you post something (like when you write on a Page's wall or
comment on a news article that uses our comments plugin). This is because some types of stories are always public
stories. As a general rule, you should assume that if you do not see a sharing icon, the information will be publicly
available.
When others share information about you, they can also choose to make it public.
Information that is always publicly available

The types of information listed below are always publicly available, and
are treated just like information you decided to
make public.
Name: This helps your friends and family find you. If you are uncomfortable sharing your real name, you can
always delete your account.
Profile Pictures and Cover Photos: These help your friends and family recognize you. If you are uncomfortable
making any of these photos public, you can always delete it. Unless you delete them, when you add a new profile
picture or cover photo, the previous photo will remain public in your profile picture or cover photo album.
Network: This helps you see whom you will be sharing information with before you choose "Friends and
Networks" as a custom audience. If you are uncomfortable making your network public, you can leave the
network.
Gender: This allows us to refer to you properly.
Username and User ID: These allow you to give out a custom link to your timeline or Page, receive email at
your Facebook email address, and help make Facebook Platform possible.
3

Usernames and User IDs
A Username (or Facebook URL) is a custom link to your timeline that you can give out to people or post on external
websites. Usernames appear in the URL on your timeline. We also use your User ID to identify
your Facebook account.
If someone has your Username or User ID, they can use it to access information about you through the facebook.com
website. For example, if someone has your Username, they can type facebook.com/Username into their browser and
see your public information as well as anything else you've let them see. Similarly, someone with your Username or
User ID can access information about you through our APIs, such as our Graph API. Specifically, they can access your
public information, along with your age range, language and country.
If you do not want your information to be accessible to Platform applications, you can turn off all Platform applications
from your Privacy Settings. If you turn off Platform you will no longer be able to
use any games or other applications
until you turn Platform back on. For more information about the information that apps receive when you visit them, see
Other websites and applications.
If you want to see information available about you through our Graph API, just type
https://graph.facebook.com/[User ID or Username]?metadata=1 into your browser.
Your Facebook email address includes your public username like so: [e-mail]. You can control who
can start a message thread with you using your “How You Connect” settings. If they include others on that message, the
others can reply too.
How we use the information we receive

We use the information we receive about you in connection with the services and features we provide to you and other
users like your friends, our partners, the advertisers that purchase ads on the site, and the developers that build the
games, applications, and websites you use. For example, we may use the information we receive about you:
as part of our efforts to keep Facebook products, services and integrations safe and secure;
to protect Facebook's or others' rights or property;
to provide you with location features and services, like telling you and your friends when something is going on
nearby;
to measure or understand the effectiveness of ads you and others see, including to deliver relevant ads to you;
to make suggestions to you and other users on Facebook, such as: suggesting that your friend use our contact
importer because you found friends using it, suggesting that another user add you as a friend because the user
imported the same email address as you did, or suggesting that your friend tag you in a picture they have
uploaded with
you in it; and
for internal operations, including troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, research and service improvement.
Granting us this permission not only allows us to provide Facebook as
it exists today, but it also allows us to provide
you with innovative features and services we develop in the future that use the information we receive about you in new
ways.

While you are allowing us to use the information we receive about you, you always own all of your information. Your
trust is important to us, which is why we don't share information we receive about you with others
unless we have:
received your permission;
given you notice, such as by telling you about it in this policy; or
removed your name or any other personally identifying information from it.
Of course, for information others share about you, they control how it is shared.
We store data for as long as it is necessary to provide products and services to you and others, including those described
above. Typically, information associated with your account will be kept until your account
is deleted. For certain
categories of data, we may also tell you about specific data retention practices.
4

We
are able to suggest that your friend tag you in a picture by scanning and comparing your friend's pictures to
information we've put together from the other photos you've been tagged in. This allows us to make these suggestions.
You can control whether we suggest that another user tag you in a photo using the “How Tags work” settings. Learn
more at: https://www.facebook.com/help/tag-suggestions
Deleting and deactivating your account
If you want to stop using your account, you can either deactivate or delete it.
Deactivate

Deactivating your account puts your account on hold. Other users will no
longer see your timeline, but we do not delete
any of your information.
Deactivating an account is the same as you telling us not to delete any
information because
you might want to reactivate your account at some point in the future. You can deactivate your account at:
https://www.facebook.com/editaccount.php
Your friends will still see you listed in their list of friends while your account is deactivated.
Deletion

When you delete an account, it is permanently deleted from Facebook. It typically takes about one month to delete an
account, but some information may remain in backup copies and logs for up to 90 days. You should only delete your
account if you are sure you never want to reactivate it. You can delete your account at:
https://www.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=delete_account

Learn more at: https://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=356107851084108
Certain information is needed to provide you with services, so we only delete this information after you delete your
account. Some of the things you do on Facebook aren’t stored in your account, like posting to a group or sending
someone a message (where your friend may still have a message you sent, even after you delete your account). That
information remains after you delete your account.
II. Sharing and finding you on Facebook
Control each time you post
Whenever you post content (like a status update, photo or check-in), you can select a specific audience, or even
customize your audience. To do this, simply click on the sharing icon and choose who can see it.
Choose this icon if you want to make something Public.
Choosing to make something public is exactly what it sounds
like. It means that anyone, including people off of Facebook, will be able to see
or access it.
Choose this icon if you want to share with your Facebook Friends.
Choose this icon if you want to Customize your audience. You can also use this to hide your story from specific
people.
If you tag someone, that person and their friends can see your story no matter what audience you selected. The same is
true when you approve a
tag someone else adds to your story.
Always think before you post. Just like anything else you post on the
web or send in an email, information you share on
Facebook can be copied or re-shared by anyone who can see it.
Although you choose with whom you share, there may be ways for others to
determine information about you. For
example, if you hide your birthday so no one can see it on your timeline, but friends post “happy birthday!” on your
timeline, people may determine your birthday.
When you comment on or "like" someone else's story, or write on their timeline, that person gets to select the audience.
For example, if a friend posts a Public story and you comment on it, your comment will be Public. Often, you can see
the audience someone selected for their story
before you post a comment; however, the person who posted the story
may
later change their audience.
5

You can control who can see the Facebook Pages you've "liked" by visiting your timeline, clicking on the Likes box on
your timeline, and then clicking "Edit."
Sometimes you will not see a sharing icon when you post something (like when you write on a Page's wall or comment
on a news article that uses our comments plugin). This is because some types of stories are always public stories. As a
general rule, you should assume that if you do not see a sharing icon, the information will be publicly available.
Control over your timeline
Whenever you add things to your timeline you can select a specific audience, or even customize your audience. To do
this, simply click on the sharing icon and choose who can see it.
Choose this icon if you want to make something Public.
Choosing to make something public is exactly what it sounds
like. It means that anyone, including people off of Facebook, will be able to see
or access it.
Choose this icon if you want to share with your Facebook Friends.
Choose this icon if you want to Customize your audience. You can also use this to hide the item on your timeline from
specific people.
When you select an audience for your friend list, you are only controlling who can see the entire list of your friends on
your timeline. We call this a timeline visibility control. This is because your friend list is always available to the games,
applications and websites you use, and your friendships may be visible elsewhere (such as
on your friends' timelines or
in searches). For example, if you select "Only Me" as the audience for your friend list, but your friend sets her
friend
list to "Public," anyone will be able to see your connection on your friend's timeline.
Similarly, if you choose to hide your gender, it only hides it on your timeline. This is because we, just like the
applications you and your friends use, need to use your gender to refer to you properly on the site.
When someone tags you in a story (such as a photo, status update or check-in), you can choose whether you want that
story to appear on your timeline. You can either approve each story individually or approve all stories by your friends.
If you approve a story and later change your mind, you can remove it from your timeline.
People on Facebook may be able to see mutual friends, even if they cannot see your entire list of friends.
Some things (like your name, profile pictures and cover photos) do not have sharing icons because they are always
publicly available. As a general rule, you should assume that if you do not see a sharing icon, the information will be
publicly available.
Finding you on Facebook
To make it easier for your friends to find you, we allow anyone with your contact information (such as email address or
telephone number) to find you through the Facebook search bar at the top of most pages, as well as other tools we
provide, such as contact importers - even if you have not shared your contact information with them on Facebook.
You can choose who can look up your timeline using the email address or telephone number you added to your timeline
through your privacy settings. But remember, if you choose Friends, only your current Facebook friends will be able to
find you this way.
Your “How You Connect” settings do not control whether people can find you or a link to your timeline when they
search for content they have permission to see, like a photo or other story you’ve been tagged in.
Access on phones and other devices
Once you share information with your friends and others, they may be able to sync it with or access it via their mobile
phones and other devices. For example, if you share a photo on Facebook, someone viewing that photo could save it
using Facebook tools or by other methods offered by their device or browser. Similarly, if you share your contact
information with someone or invite someone to an event, they may be able to use Facebook or third party applications
or devices to sync that
information. Or, if one of your friends has a Facebook application on one of their devices, your
6

information (such as the things you post or photos you share) may be stored on or accessed by their device.
You should only share information with people you trust because they will be able to save it or re-share it with others,
including when they sync the information to a device.
Activity log
Your activity log is a place where you can go to view most of your information on Facebook, including things you’ve
hidden from your timeline. You can use this log to manage your content. For example, you can do things like delete
stories, change the audience of your stories or stop an application from publishing to your timeline on your behalf.
When you hide something from your timeline, you are not deleting it. This means that the story may be visible
elsewhere, like in your friends’ News Feed. If you want to delete a story you posted, choose the delete option.
What your friends share about you
Links and Tags

Anyone can add a link to a story. Links are references to something on the Internet; anything from a website to a Page
or timeline on Facebook.
For example, if you are writing a story, you might include a link to a
blog you are referencing
or a link to the blogger’s Facebook timeline. If someone clicks on a link to another person’s timeline, they’ll only see
the things that they are allowed to see.
A tag is a special type of link to someone’s timeline that suggests that the tagged person add your story to their timeline.
In cases where the tagged person isn’t included in the audience of the story, it will add them so they can see it. Anyone
can tag you in anything. Once you are tagged, you and your friends will be able to see it (such as in News Feed or in
search).
You can choose whether a story you've been tagged in appears on your timeline. You can either approve each story
individually or approve all stories by your friends. If you approve a story and later change your mind, you can always
remove it from your timeline.
If you do not want someone to tag you, we encourage you to reach out to them and give them that feedback. If that does
not work, you can block them. This will prevent them from tagging you going forward.
If
you are tagged in a private space (such as a message or a group) only the people who can see the private space can
see the tag. Similarly, it you are tagged in a comment, only the people who can see the comment can
see the tag.
Groups

Once you are in a Group, anyone in that Group can add you to a subgroup.
When someone adds you to a Group, you
will be listed as “invited” until you visit the Group. You can always leave a Group, which will prevent others from
adding you to it again.
About Pages
Facebook Pages are public pages. Companies use Pages to share information about their products. Celebrities use Pages
to talk about their latest projects. And communities use pages to discuss topics of interest, everything from baseball to
the opera.
Because Pages are public, information you share with a Page is public
information. This means, for example, that if you
post a comment on a Page, that comment may be used by the Page owner off Facebook, and anyone can see it.
When you "like" a Page, you create a connection to that Page. The connection is added to your timeline and your friends
may see it in their News Feeds. You may be contacted by or receive updates from the Page, such as in your News Feed
and your messages. You can remove the Pages you've "liked" through your timeline or on the Page.
7

Some Pages contain content that comes directly from the Page owner. Page owners can do this through online plugins,
such as an iframe, and it works just like the games and other applications you use through Facebook. Because this
content comes directly from the Page owner, that Page may be able to collect information about you, just like any

website.
Page administrators may have access to insights data, which will tell them generally about the people that visit their
Page (as opposed to information about specific people). They may also know when you’ve made a connection to their
Page because you’ve liked their Page or posted a comment.
III. Other websites and applications
About Facebook Platform
Facebook Platform (or simply Platform) refers to the way we help you share your information with the games,
applications, and websites you and your friends use. Facebook Platform also lets you bring your friends
with you, so
you can connect with them off of Facebook. In these two ways, Facebook Platform helps you make your experiences
on the web more personalized and social.
Remember that these games, applications and websites are created and maintained by other businesses and developers
who are not part of Facebook, so you should always make sure to read their terms of service and privacy policies.
Controlling what information you share with applications
When you connect with a game, application or website - such as by going to a game, logging in to a website using your
Facebook account, or
adding an app to your timeline - we give the game, application, or website (sometimes referred to
as just "Applications" or "Apps") your basic info, which includes your User ID, as well your friends' User IDs (or your
friend list) and your public information.
Your friend list helps the application make your experience more social because it lets you find your friends on that
application. Your User ID helps the application personalize your experience because it can
connect your account on
that application with your Facebook account, and it can access your basic info, which includes your public information
and friend list. This includes the information you choose to make public, as well as information that is always publicly
available. If the
application needs additional information, such as your stories, photos or likes, it will have to ask you
for specific permission.
The “Apps you use” setting lets you control the applications you use. You can see the permissions you have given these

applications, the last time an application accessed your information, and the audience on Facebook for your timeline
stories and activity the application posts on your behalf. You can also remove applications you no longer want, or turn
off all Platform applications. When you turn all
Platform applications off, your User ID is no longer given to

applications, even when your friends use those applications. But you will no longer be able to use any games,
applications or websites through Facebook.
When you first visit an app, Facebook lets the app know your language, your country, and whether you are under 18,
between 18-20, or 21 and over. Age range lets apps provide you with age-appropriate content. If you install the app, it
can access, store and update the information you’ve shared. Apps you’ve installed can update their records of your
basic info, age range, language and country. If you haven’t used an app in a while, it won’t be able to continue
to
update the additional information you’ve given them permission
to access. Learn more at:
https://www.facebook.com/help/how-apps-work
Sometimes a game console, mobile phone, or other device might ask for permission to share specific information with
the games and applications
you use on that device. If you say okay, those applications will not be
able to access any
other information about you without asking specific permission from you or your friends.
Sites and apps that use Instant Personalization receive your User ID and friend list when you visit them.
You always can remove apps you’ve installed by using your app settings at: https://www.facebook.com/settings/?
tab=applications.
But remember, apps may still be able to access your information when the people you share with use
them. And, if you’ve removed an application and want them to delete the information you’ve already
shared with them,
8

you should contact the application and ask them to delete it. Visit the application’s page on Facebook or their own

website to learn more about the app.
Controlling what is shared when the people you share with use applications
Just like when you share information by email or elsewhere on the web, information you share on Facebook can be reshared. This means that
if you share something on Facebook, anyone who can see it can share it with others, including
the games, applications, and websites they use.
Your friends and the other people you share information with often want to share your information with applications to
make their experiences on those applications more personalized and social. For example, one of your friends might
want to use a music application that allows them to see what their friends are listening to. To get the full benefit of that
application, your friend would want to give the application her friend list – which includes your User ID – so the
application knows which of her friends is also using it. Your friend might also want to share the music you “like” on

Facebook. If you have made that information public, then the application
can access it just like anyone else. But if
you’ve shared your likes with just your friends, the application could ask your friend for permission to share them.
You can control most of the information other people can share with applications they use from the “Ads, Apps and
Websites” settings page. But these controls do not let you limit access to your public information and friend list.
If you want to completely block applications from getting your information when your friends and others use them, you
will need to turn
off all Platform applications. This means that you will no longer be able to use any third-party
Facebook-integrated games, applications or websites.
If
an application asks permission from someone else to access your information, the application will be allowed to use
that information only in connection with the person that gave the permission and no one else.
Logging in to another site using Facebook
Facebook Platform lets you log into other applications and websites using your Facebook account. When you log in
using Facebook, we give the
site your User ID (just like when you connect with any other application), but we do not
share your email address or password with that website through this process.
If you already have an account on that website, the site may also be able to connect that account with your Facebook
account. Sometimes it does this using what is called an "email hash", which is similar to searching for someone on
Facebook using an email address. Only the email
addresses in this case are hashed so no email addresses are actually

shared between Facebook and the website.
How it works

The website sends over a hashed version of your email address, and we match it with a database of email addresses that
we have also hashed. If
there is a match, then we tell the website the User ID associated with the email address. This
way, when you log into the website using Facebook, the website can link your Facebook account to your account on

that website.
About social plugins
Social plugins are buttons, boxes, and stories (such as the Like button) that other websites can use to present Facebook
content to you and create more social and personal experiences for you. While you view these buttons, boxes, and
stories on other sites, the content comes directly from Facebook.
Sometimes plugins act just like applications. You can spot one of these plugins because it will ask you for permission to
access your information or to publish information back to Facebook. For example, if you use a registration plugin on a
website, the plugin will ask your permission to share your basic info with the website to make it easier for you to
register for the website. Similarly, if you use an Add To Timeline plugin, the plugin will ask your permission to publish
stories about your activities on that website to Facebook.
9

If you make something public using a plugin, such as posting a public
comment on a newspaper's website, then that
website can access your comment (along with your User ID) just like everyone else.
If
you post something using a social plugin and you do not see a sharing icon, you should assume that story is Public.
For example, if you post a
comment through a Facebook comment plugin on a site, your story is Public and everyone,
including the website, can see your story.
Websites that use social plugins can sometimes tell that you have engaged with the social plugin. For example, they
may know that you clicked on a Like button in a social plugin.
We
receive data when you visit a site with a social plugin. We keep this data for a maximum of 90 days. After that, we
remove your name or any other personally identifying information from the data, or combine it with other people's data
in a way that it is no longer associated with you. Learn more at: https://www.facebook.com/help/social-plugins
About instant personalization
Instant personalization is a way for Facebook to help partners (such as Bing and Rotten Tomatoes) on and off Facebook
create a more personalized and social experience for logged in users than a social plugin
can offer. When you visit a
site or app using instant personalization, it will know some information about you and your friends the moment you

arrive. This is because sites and apps using instant personalization can
access your User ID, your friend list, and your
public information.
The first time you visit a site or app using instant personalization,
you will see a notification letting you know that the
site or app has partnered with Facebook to provide a personalized experience.
The notification will give you the ability to disable or turn off instant personalization for that site or app. If you do that,
that site or app is required to delete all of the information about you it received from Facebook as part of the instant
personalization program. In addition, we will prevent that site from accessing your information in the future, even when
your friends use that site.
If you decide that you do not want to experience instant personalization for all partner sites and apps, you can disable
instant personalization from the “Ads, Apps and Websites” settings page.
If you turn off instant personalization, partner third party sites and apps will not be able to access your public
information, even when your friends visit those sites.
If
you turn off an instant personalization site or app after you have been
using it or visited it a few times (or after you
have given it specific
permission to access your data), it will not automatically delete your data received through
Facebook. But the site is contractually required to delete your data if you ask it to.
How it works

To join the instant personalization program, a potential partner must enter into an agreement with us designed to protect
your privacy. For example, this agreement requires that the partner delete your data if you turn off instant
personalization when you first visit the site or app. It also prevents the partner from accessing any information about

you until you or your friends visit its site.
Instant personalization partners sometimes use an email hash process to see if any of their users are on Facebook and get
those users' User IDs. This process is similar to searching for someone on Facebook using an email address, except in
this case the email addresses are hashed so no actual email addresses are exchanged. The partner is also contractually
required not to use your User ID for any purpose (other than associating it with your account) until you or your friends
visit the site.
When you visit a site or app using instant personalization, we provide the site or app with your User ID and your friend
list (as well as your age range, locale, and gender). The site or app can then connect
your account with that partner with
your friends' accounts to make the site or app instantly social. The site can also access public information associated
with any of the User IDs it receives, which it can use to make them instantly personalized. For example, if the site is
a
10

music site, it can access your music interests to suggest songs you may like, and access your friends' music interests to
let you know what they are listening to. Of course it can only access your or your friends’ music interests if they are
public. If the site or app wants any additional information, it will have to get your specific permission.
Public search engines
Your public search setting controls whether people who enter your name on a public search engine may see your public
timeline (including in sponsored results). You can find your public search setting on the “Ads, Apps and Websites”
settings page.
This setting does not apply to search engines that access your information as an application using Facebook Platform.
If
you turn your public search setting off and then search for yourself on
a public search engine, you may still see a
preview of your timeline. This is because some search engines cache information for a period of time. You can learn
more about how to request a search engine to remove you from cached information at:
https://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=13323
IV. How advertising and Sponsored Stories work
Personalized ads
We do not share any of your information
with advertisers (unless, of course, you give us permission). As described in
this policy, we may share your information when we have removed from it anything that personally identifies you or
combined it with other information so that it no longer personally identifies you.
We use the information we receive to deliver ads and to make them more relevant to you. This includes all of the things
you share and do on Facebook, such as the Pages you like or key words from your stories, and the things we infer from
your use of
Facebook. Learn more at: https://www.facebook.com/help/?page=226611954016283
When an advertiser creates an ad, they are given the opportunity to choose their audience by location, demographics,
likes, keywords, and any other information we receive or can tell about you and other users. For example, an advertiser
can choose to target 18 to 35 year-old women who live in the United States and like basketball. An advertiser could

also choose to target certain topics or keywords, like “music” or even people who like a particular song or artist.
Try this tool yourself to see one of the ways advertisers target ads and what information they see at:
https://www.facebook.com/ads/create/
If the advertiser chooses to run the ad (also known as placing the order), we serve the ad to people who meet the criteria
the advertiser selected, but we do not tell the advertiser who any of those people are.
So, for example, if a person views
or otherwise interacts with the ad, the advertiser might infer that the person is an 18-to-35-year-old woman
who lives in
the U.S. and likes basketball. But we would not tell the advertiser who that person is.
After the ad runs, we provide advertisers with reports on how their ads performed. For example we give advertisers
reports telling them how many users saw or clicked on their ads. But these reports are anonymous.
We do not tell
advertisers who saw or clicked on their ads.
Advertisers sometimes place cookies on your computer in order to make their ads more effective. Learn more about
cookies, pixels and other system technologies.
Sometimes we allow advertisers to target a category of user, like a "moviegoer" or a "sci-fi fan." We do this by
bundling characteristics that we believe are related to the category. For example, if a person "likes" the "Star Trek"
Page and mentions "Star Wars" when they check into a movie theater, we may conclude that this person is likely to be a

sci-fi fan. Advertisers of sci-fi movies, for example, could ask us to target “sci-fi fans” and we would target that group,
which may include you. Or if you “like” Pages that are car-related and mention a particular car brand in a post, we
might put you in the “potential car buyer” category and let a car brand target to that group, which would include you.
Ads + social context
11

Facebook Ads are sometimes paired with social actions your friends have taken. For example, an ad for a sushi
restaurant may be paired with
a news story that one of your friends likes that restaurant's Facebook page.
This is the same type of news story that could show up in your News Feed, only we place it next to a paid advertisement
to make that ad more
relevant and interesting.
When you show up in one of these news stories, we will only pair it with ads shown to your friends. If you do not want
to appear in stories paired with Facebook Ads, you can opt out using your “Edit social ads” setting.
Learn what happens when you click "Like" on an advertisement or an advertiser's Facebook Page at:
https://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=19399
We
may serve ads, including those with social context (or serve just social context), on other sites. These work just like
the ads we serve on Facebook - the advertisers do not receive any of your information. Only people that could see the
Facebook action (like on your timeline) would see it paired in this way.
Your “Show my social actions in Facebook Ads” setting only controls ads with social context. It does not control
Sponsored Stories, ads or information about Facebook's services and features, or other Facebook content.
Games, applications and websites can serve ads directly to you or help us serve ads to you or others if they have
information like your User ID
or email address.
Sponsored stories
Many of the things you do on Facebook (like "liking" a Page) are posted to your timeline and shared in News Feed. But
there's a lot to read in News Feed. That's why we allow people to "sponsor" your stories to make sure your friends see
them. For example, if you RSVP to an event
hosted by a local restaurant, that restaurant may want to make sure your
friends see it so they can come too.
If they do sponsor a story, that story will appear in the same place ads usually do or in your News Feed under the
heading "Sponsored" or something similar. Only people that could originally see the story can see the sponsored story,
and no personal information about you (or your friends) is shared with the sponsor.
Your “Show my social actions in Facebook Ads” setting only controls ads with social context. It does not control
Sponsored Stories,
ads or information about Facebook's services and features, or other Facebook content.
Facebook content
We like to tell you about some of the features and tools your friends
and others use on Facebook, to help you have a
better experience. For example, if your friend uses our friend finder tool to find more friends
on Facebook, we may tell
you about it to encourage you to use it as well. This of course means your friend may similarly see suggestions based
on the things you do. But we will try to only show it to friends that could benefit from your experience.
Your “Show my social actions in Facebook Ads” setting only controls ads with social context. It does not control
Sponsored Stories, ads or information about Facebook's services and features, or other Facebook content.
V. Cookies, pixels and other similar technologies
Cookies are small pieces of data that are stored on your computer, mobile phone or other device. Pixels are small blocks
of code on webpages that do things like allow another server to measure viewing of a
webpage and often are used in
connection with cookies.
We use technologies like cookies, pixels, and local storage (like on your browser or device, which is similar to a cookie
but holds more information) to provide and understand a range of products and services.
Learn more at:
https://www.facebook.com/help/cookies

We use these technologies to do things like:
12

make Facebook easier or faster to use;
enable features and store information about you (including on your device or in your browser cache) and your use
of Facebook;
deliver, understand and improve advertising;
monitor and understand the use of our products and services; and
to protect you, others and Facebook.
For example, we may use them to know you are logged in to Facebook, to help you use social plugins and share buttons,
or to know when you are interacting with our advertising or Platform partners.
We may ask advertisers or other partners to serve ads or services to computers, mobile phones or other devices, which
may use a cookie, pixel
or other similar technology placed by Facebook or the third party (although we would not share
any other information that identifies you with an advertiser).
Most companies on the web use cookies (or other similar technological
tools), including our advertising and Platform
partners. For example, our Platform partners, advertisers or Page administrators may use cookies or similar
technologies when you access their apps, ads, Pages or other content.
Cookies and things like local storage help make Facebook work, like allowing pages to load faster because certain
content is stored on your browser or by helping us authenticate you to deliver personalized content.
To
learn more about how advertisers generally use cookies and the choices advertisers provide, visit the Network
Advertising Initiative at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp, the Digital Advertising Alliance at
http://www.aboutads.info/, the Internet Advertising Bureau (US) at http://www.iab.net or the Internet Advertising
Bureau (EU) at http://youronlinechoices.eu/.
You can remove or block cookies or other similar technologies or block or remove other data stored on your computer
or device (such as by using
the various settings in your browser), but it may affect your ability to use Facebook or other
websites and apps.
