In this policy we list the kinds of information we collect. Here are some important
ones. We collect:
The information you give us when you sign up for our Products and create a profile,
like your email address or phone number
What you do on our Products. This includes what you click on or like, your posts

can't read those messages unless users report them to us for review.
Who your friends or followers are, and what they do on our Products
Information from the phone, computer, or tablet you use our Products on, like what
kind it is and what version of our app you’re using
Information from partners[3] about things you do both on and off of our Products.
This could include other websites you visit, apps you use or online games you play.
The information we collect and process about you depends on how you use our
Products[4]. For example, we collect different information if you sell furniture on
Marketplace than if you post a reel on Instagram. When you use our Products, we
collect some information about you even if you don't have an account[5].
Here's the information we collect:
Your activity and information you provide
On our Products[4], you can send messages, take photos and videos, buy or sell

join it.

require partners to have the right to collect, use and share your information

Information we collect and receive if you use or interact with our Products but
don’t have an account
Even if you don't have an account, you may interact with or use Meta Products[4].
Then we collect things like:
Browser and app logs of your visits to public content, like Facebook Pages, videos
and rooms
Basic information about devices[12] that downloaded our apps, like device model and
OS
We also receive information using cookies and similar technologies, like the Meta
Pixel or Social Plugins, when you visit other websites and apps that use our
Business Tools or other Meta Products. Read more about information we receive from
partners, vendors and other third parties in this policy and in our Cookies Policy.
Examples of why we collect and receive information
Security of our Products
For example, we collect information to monitor attempted attacks on our systems,

such as overloading our servers with traffic. Also, if we see someone without an
account trying to load too many pages, they could be trying to scrape our site in
violation of our terms. Then we can take action to prevent it.
Safety and integrity
For example, if someone without an account joins a room and shares a harmful video,
we can take action according to our Community Standards. We can remove content that
violates our terms and policies, or share information with law enforcement when we
believe there is a genuine risk of death or imminent bodily harm.
Advertising
For example, you may also see ads for the Meta Company Products shown through Meta
Audience Network when you visit other apps if we can’t recognize you as a
registered user of the Meta Products.
Performance
For example, we collect information when people use our Products, even if they
don’t have an account, to measure how fast our pages load in different countries
and whether they're working properly. This helps us identify and fix issues with
local networks.
6
Information you provide
For example, when you create a Facebook account, you must provide some information,
like a password and your email address or phone number. You might choose to add
other details to your account, like a profile photo or payment information.
We also collect information you provide when you:
Create your avatar
Fill out a form
Contact us
7
Audio content you create
You can create audio content, like if you're a host or speaker in an audio-only
broadcast. Anyone in the audience for the broadcast can listen to this audio
content.

What we collect from our camera feature
José likes using Instagram’s Camera feature to take pictures of his flower garden.
We collect information about how José uses the Camera feature. For example, if he
chooses a background effect for the photo he’s about to take, we collect
information from the camera so we can apply the effect to his photo.
How filters, effects, masks and avatars work
If you use our camera or allow access to photos and videos, on certain Meta
Products you can add filters, effects, masks or avatars. Some of these features
process parts of faces or bodies within the camera frame, photo or video. Then they
can do things like fit a mask correctly over the eyes, nose and mouth. The
information we use for this process is used to create the feature. It’s not used to
identify you.
What we collect from voice-enabled features
Ren tells Meta’s voice-enabled Assistant to take a photo on Ray-Ban Stories. A

visual indicator shows that Assistant is activated and listening for Ren’s command.
We collect this voice interaction, which includes any background sound that occurs
when Ren says the command. Collecting Ren’s voice interactions lets us provide and,
depending on Ren’s settings, improve the Assistant feature.
9
Metadata
Information about the content itself, like the location where a photo was taken or
the date a file was created
Information about the message itself, like the type of message or the date and time
it was sent
10
Apps and features you use, and how you use them
For example, we log:
What apps, posts, videos, ads, games, Shops and other content you view or interact
with on our Products
What features you access from our messaging products
When you use Social Plugins, Facebook Login, in-app browser link history or
autofill
Information about websites that you visit or interact with when you use our in-app
browser. Learn more.

We collect information when you use our Products to buy or sell things or make
other financial transactions.
Some examples are:
Purchases within an online game
Donations to a friend’s fundraiser
Purchases in Marketplace, Shops or groups
Purchases made using Meta Pay or other Meta checkout experiences
Money transfers to friends and family (where available)
What we collect from transactions
When you buy things or make other payments in Marketplace, Shops or groups, or use
other Meta checkout experiences, we collect information about your purchase or
other financial transactions, like:
Credit or debit card number and other card information
Billing, shipping and contact details
Items you bought and how many
Other account and authentication information
Why we collect this information
We collect and store this information to personalize your experience on our

Products, for advertising and to allow you to access and view your payment and
transaction history, where available.
And, depending on your choices, you can use it the next time you shop to give you
easier, faster shopping experiences.

collect metadata. This metadata is from and about your photos and videos and
includes the date and time they were made. We use this to do things like remind you

IP address

like a phone or computer, that allows it to communicate over the internet. Numbers
are assigned according to standard guidelines, or protocols.
Just like you need a mailing address to receive a letter from a friend, your device
needs an IP address to receive information on the internet.

or device, identifiers associated with your device and other software, Social
Plugins and the Meta Pixel. They help us provide, protect and improve our Products,
such as by personalizing content, tailoring and measuring ads and providing a safer
experience.
We collect information from cookies stored on your device, including cookie IDs and
settings.
Read our Meta Cookies Policy.
22
Types of partners
Partners
Our partners[3] use our Products, including our Business Tools and other
technologies that allow businesses to advertise or support their products. Business
Tools also help our partners understand and measure how people are using their
products and services and how well their ads are working. For example, they might
put one of our Business Tools, the Meta Pixel, on their website. Or they might use
Meta Audience Network tools to monetize their apps by showing ads from businesses
that advertise on Facebook.
Integrated partners
Integrated partners[26] also use our Products, specifically the technologies that
help you make a connection to them. For example, you might log into their app or

Why we use information across devices
One reason we use your information across devices[43] is to help us give you a more

Manual review
Examples of when we use manual review
Our reviewers help us promote safety, security and integrity across our Products.
For example, reviewers can look for and remove content that violates our terms and
policies and keep content that doesn’t break our terms and policies available.
Their work supplements our technology that detects violations.
When our algorithms detect that someone might need help, a reviewer can review
their post and offer support if needed.
We also use manual review to analyze content to train our algorithms to review
content the same way a person would. This improves our automatic processing, which
in turn helps us improve our products.
Who reviews this information
Our reviewers work at Meta, for Meta Companies or for a trusted service
provider[44]. We require every reviewer who's allowed access to your information to
meet privacy and security standards.

How we personalize your Facebook Feed
Your Facebook Feed is unique to you. We order (or “rank”) the content you can see
in your Feed, and you can learn more about the different types of signals we use to
rank it. We also suggest content that’s relevant to you.
Many things influence the content you see in your Feed.
For example:
If your friends, connections or people you may know interact with a Facebook Page,
post or certain topic, we can suggest similar content to you. So if your friend
Ahmad comments on a post about national parks, we can suggest the national parks
post to you.
If you and others interact with the same group, Facebook Page or post, we can
suggest another group, Page or post that they interact with for you. So if you and
Sharmila are in the same cat lovers group and Sharmila likes a Page that sells
scarves, we might suggest the scarves Page to you.
If you’ve recently engaged with a certain topic on Facebook, we might then suggest

on a post from a basketball Page, we could suggest other posts about basketball.
You might see posts based on where you are and what people near you are interacting
with on Facebook. So if you’re near a sports stadium, we can suggest games or
events occurring at the stadium. Learn more about how we use location-related
information.

Your activity on our Products
For example, William checks into a local bakery on Facebook, so later we might show
him ads on Instagram for other local bakeries.
Your activity on third-party websites and apps, depending on your settings
For example, Jane buys a pair of shoes from an online shoe store or in an online
chat with a shoe seller. The seller shares Jane’s activity with us using our
Business Tools, subject to our Business Tools Terms.
Later, Jane sees an ad on Instagram for a discount on her next shoe purchase from
the online store.
If she doesn't want to see ads from this shoe store again, she can hide them in her
Advertisers setting. Or if she doesn’t want us to show her any ads based on her
activity on other websites and apps, she can make sure that this setting is turned
off in her ad preferences.
Topics we think you might be interested in
For example, Jon likes several Facebook Pages about famous musicians, so we think
he has an interest in "music."
Based on this interest, we might show him an ad for a local record shop or an
online music publication.
Jon can manage his interests in his ad topics.
Your connections
For example, Fiona’s friend likes an Instagram account for a local art fair. Based
on her friend’s activity, we might show Fiona an ad for the art fair.

Other device signals we receive
We receive different types of device signals from different operating systems. They

Personalizing ads for you and others
For example, Marcus is going on a trip and wants to use Find Wi-Fi to find free,
public Wi-Fi at the airport. He has turned on Location Services on his device and
allowed location access on the Facebook app, so we can use his GPS information to
help him find the most relevant public Wi-Fi networks. We’ll also use this
information to show him ads for local businesses near the airport.
Later, Marcus turns off Location Services before he lands, so we don’t collect his
GPS information anymore. Later on his trip, he opens the Facebook app, and we can
use the IP address we receive to estimate Marcus’ general location and show him ads
for businesses nearby.
37
Helping to keep your account secure
For example, we use information about the locations you normally log in from,
combined with other information, to detect suspicious activity. So if we detect an
attempt to log into your account from a new location, we can check that it’s really
you.

communicate with you
Show all interactions in one place for content you’ve cross-posted to different

What you use their services to do
Information from and about the device you’re using
The language setting you’ve chosen on our Products
See examples[50] of when an integrated partner might receive your information.
Information they receive with your permission
Sometimes these integrated partners ask you for permission to access certain
additional information from your Facebook, Instagram or Messenger account. In their
request, they’ll explain what information they’d like to access and let you choose
whether to share it.
On Facebook, this includes things like your email address, hometown or birthday. On
Instagram, this includes content, like photos and videos, that you’ve shared from
your account when the account was set to private.
Learn what happens if you choose to share your friends list, or if your friends
choose to share their friends list.[51]
We automatically log when you receive a request from an integrated partner to
access your information. These requests to access information are separate from the
Apps and Websites access that you manage in your Facebook or Instagram ad settings
or in your mobile device settings.
How long they can access your information
Apps or websites you’ve logged into using Facebook Login or connected to your
Instagram account can access your nonpublic information on Meta Products unless it
appears to us that you haven’t used the app or website in 90 days. Note that even
if an app’s access to your information has expired, it can still retain information
you shared with it previously.
We encourage you to visit your Apps and Websites settings from time to time to
review which apps and websites continue to have access to your information through
Facebook Login or Instagram.

Integrated partners receive information about your activity when you interact with
other Facebook, Instagram or Messenger users while they’re using the integrated
partner’s product or service.
For example, a gamer livestreams to Facebook using a partner app. Then you comment
on that livestream. The app developer will receive information about your comment.
How integrated partners handle your information
Integrated partners handle the information you share with them according to their
own terms and policies, not Meta’s. You can review their privacy policy on their
website or app to learn how they receive and process your information. In some
cases, they use a separate service provider to receive and process your

Choosing an audience
On Facebook, the audience can be made up of:
The public, including people on and off Facebook
Your friends and other connections, such as the friends of people you tag
A customized list of people
Yourself
The members of a single community, such as a group
On Instagram, you can set the audience for what you share by choosing between a
private or public account. With a private account, only followers you approve can
see what you share. With a public account, your posts and other content on
Instagram can be seen by anyone, on or off our Products, including if they don’t
have an account. You can restrict the audience for your content by blocking
individual accounts from viewing them. You can also create a close friends list for
certain types of content that only the people on that list can see.

Search engines
You can visit your privacy settings to control whether search engines outside

Sharing friends lists
When you share your friends list
If you use Facebook Login to log into an app, the app developer might request
access to your list of Facebook friends. Here's what happens if you give the app
developer permission to view these lists:
They can view and access a list of your Facebook friends who use the same app and
have given the app permission to access their list of friends. They can’t access
nonpublic information about your friends or followers through this process. Note
that the app developer will receive more information about your friends if your
friends choose to share it themselves. They can share it by providing the
information directly or giving the developer permission to access information from
their account.
You’ll appear on friends lists that your Facebook friends can choose to share with
the same app. You can remove this permission, or the app entirely, if you later
decide that you don’t want to share your friends list with an app, or don’t want to
appear on other friends lists shared with that app.
When your friends share their friends list
Your friends might choose to share their friends lists with app developers through
Facebook Login. But your friends can’t use Facebook Login to share nonpublic
information about you.

How do we share information with third parties?
Highlights
We share certain information with:

Advertisers who show ads on our Products
Businesses we hire to market our Products for us
Businesses we hire to do things like offer customer service or conduct surveys
Researchers who use it to do things like innovate, advance technology, or improve
people’s safety
We don’t sell your information, and we never will.
We don't sell any of your information to anyone, and we never will. We also require
partners[53] and other third parties[54] to follow rules about how they can and
cannot use and disclose the information we provide.
Here’s more detail about who we share information with:
Partners
Advertisers and Audience Network publishers
Advertisers
We provide advertisers with reports about the number and kinds of people who see
and engage with their ads. These reports include information about the general
demographics and interests of people who engaged with an advertiser’s ad. Then
advertisers can better understand their audience. See an example[55].
Meta also provides advertisers and their vendors with information about:
Ads people engaged with, if any
When people engaged with ads
Where that ad was shown (for example, on Instagram, or on Facebook)
We also confirm which ads you viewed that led you to take an action with an
advertiser, such as downloading an advertiser's app. But we don't share information
with these advertisers and their vendors that by itself can be used to contact or
identify you, such as your name or email address, unless you give us permission.
[56]
Audience Network publishers and their vendors
Meta Audience Network lets advertisers place ads with us that will be published on
other apps and websites outside of Meta.
To help show you ads on their apps and websites, we share information with
publishers who use Audience Network, as well as vendors who facilitate that use.
For example, we share:
How many people see and engage with ads on publisher apps
Information related to or in response to a publisher’s request to serve an ad on
its app.
But we don't share information with these publishers and their vendors that by
itself can be used to contact or identify you, such as your name or email address,
unless you give us permission[56].
Partners who use our analytics services
People rely on our Products[57], like business accounts, professional tools and
Facebook Pages, to run and promote their businesses. Businesses use our analytics
services to understand more about how people are using their content, features,
products and services.
To provide these services, we use the information we collect about you. We put this
information into aggregate reports so that partners can see how well their content,
features, products and services are performing and are able to understand things
like users’ experience with such content, products and services.
These reports aggregate information like:
How many people interacted with our partners' content, products or services
The general demographics and interests[55] of the people who interacted with it
How people use our partners’ products and services to connect to Meta Products and
the performance of their connection and networks
Advertisers also receive other information. Read our policy about how we share
information with advertisers.
Partners who offer goods or services on our Products and commerce services
platforms
When you choose to make a transaction[58], or otherwise choose to share information

with a seller, creator, fundraiser, charity, payment services provider or commerce
services platform[59], we share information with them and with any providers acting
on their behalf.
Depending on how you interact with them, they receive:
Information to complete your transaction, like order, payment, contact and shipping
information
Information to help ensure the security of the transaction, like information about
your device or connection
Any information required by applicable regulation
Other information you choose to share with them
For example, if you make a purchase from an Instagram shop using checkout, the shop
will receive information to complete your transaction. This may include your order
items, your contact details and shipping information. If the shop uses a payment
services provider, such as PayPal, to facilitate the transaction, the provider will
receive the transaction amount, a transaction description (to appear on your credit
card statement) and your payment card information, such as cardholder name, card
number, expiration date and billing address. Learn more about payments on
Instagram.
Integrated partners
When you choose to use integrated partners’ products or services, they may receive
information about you and your activity. Read the policy.
Vendors
Measurement vendors
We don’t create every measurement and analytics report ourselves.

We share information (like whether people saw an ad or engaged with it) with our
measurement vendors[60], who aggregate it to provide their reports.
For example, an advertiser might ask a measurement vendor to help figure out the
impact its ads on Facebook have had on sales. The measurement vendor compares
information from us about clicks on the advertiser’s Facebook ads with information
from the advertiser about product purchases. Then the measurement vendor creates
and provides aggregated reports that show the advertiser how its ads are
performing.
Marketing vendors
We share information about you with marketing vendors[61]. For example, we share
your device identifier or other identifiers with marketing vendors to help us serve
you ads most relevant to your interests.
Marketing vendors support our marketing and advertising efforts by:
Serving our advertisements across the internet, including on mobile, desktop and
connected television devices
Tracking and categorizing your online and mobile app activity
Providing us information about your interests and community and advertising
interactions
These marketing vendors help us understand who might find our advertising most
relevant to their interests, and which of our Products might interest you. This
information can be used to personalize which of our ads are shown to you. Marketing
vendors also use this information to measure response to our marketing efforts and
the effectiveness of our advertising.
Learn more[62] about how to manage the Meta ads you see off our Products.

Service providers provide services to us that help us provide our Products to you.
We share the information we have about you to receive these services, which
include:

Detecting and stopping threats to our personnel and property
Facilitating payments
Providing customer support
Improving the functionality of our Products
Providing technical infrastructure services
Analyzing how our Products are used

Third parties
External researchers
We provide information to external researchers. They use it to conduct research

that advances scholarship and innovation, and to promote safety, security and
integrity.
Research goals include supporting:

Social good. Learn more.
Technological advancement
Safety and security on our Products
Public interest
Health and well-being
When sharing information with external researchers, we ensure the privacy of our
users is protected. Learn more about the privacy-safe research we support.
Other third parties
We also share information with other third parties[54] in response to legal
requests, to comply with applicable law or to prevent harm. Read the policy.
And if we sell or transfer all or part of our business to someone else, in some
cases we’ll give the new owner your information as part of that transaction, but
only as the law allows.

General demographics and interests
For example, a bike shop creates a Page on Facebook and wants to place an ad to
reach an audience of people in Atlanta interested in cycling. We determine whether
someone fits in this audience based on, for example, whether they liked a Page
about bikes. Then people in that audience could see the bike shop's ad.
You can see the “interests” assigned to you in your ad preferences and remove them
if you want.
The bike shop can then see reports showing aggregated statistics about the audience
seeing their ads and how their ads are performing. The reports would show
statistics to the advertiser that, for example, most of the people who saw or
clicked on their ad:
Were women
Were between the ages of 25 and 34
Clicked on the ad from their phone
56
When you might give us permission
For example, you might request more information from a business by clicking their
ad in your Facebook Feed and submitting a form with your name and contact
information. Then the advertiser would receive the information you provided.

We share information we collect, infrastructure, systems and technology with the
other Meta Companies. Learn more about how we transfer information to other
countries.
We also process information that we receive about you from other Meta Companies,
according to their terms and policies and as permitted by applicable law. In some
cases, Meta acts as a service provider[65] for other Meta Companies. We act on
their behalf and in accordance with their instructions and terms.

comply with applicable law. This includes:
Complying with their legal obligations
Helping keep you and others safe

integrations that connect your WhatsApp experiences with other Meta Company
Products. These integrations let you do things like:
Use your Meta Pay account to pay for things on WhatsApp
Chat with your friends on other Meta Company Products, such as Portal, by
connecting your WhatsApp account
We also share information with Meta Companies to support innovation. For example,
your videos can help train our products to recognize objects, like trees, or
activities, like when a dog chases a ball. They can also help train tools that let
people and businesses create content, like images and videos. This technology is
used to help us offer new products or features in the future.
Understanding how people use our products
We count the number of unique users, monthly active users and daily active users on
our products. This information helps us understand the community using our products
and publicly share important trends about how our products are used.

possible violations of our terms or policies; promote safety, security and
integrity; or protect ourselves, including our rights, property or products
In some instances and for specific reasons, we’ll keep information for an extended
period of time. Read our policy[74] about when we may preserve your information.
71
If we need it to operate or provide our Products
For example, we keep profile information, photos you’ve posted (and not deleted)
and security information for the lifetime of your account.
And when you search for something on Facebook, we keep your search history until
you clear the search in your activity log or delete your account. Once you clear a
search or delete your account, it will no longer be visible to you, and it will be
deleted[75].
But even if you don’t clear your search or delete your account, within six months
of your search we delete information about that search that isn’t necessary to show
you your search history, like information about the device you were using, or your
location.
72
The feature we use it for, and how that feature works
For example, May is planning a surprise party for Yang. She sends Cynthia the party
details in Messenger using vanish mode so that the message will disappear. The
message will no longer be visible to May once she leaves the chat, and Cynthia will
see the message only the first time she opens the chat thread.
After Cynthia reads the message, the content is deleted after one hour. If Cynthia
never reads it, it’s deleted after 14 days.
73
How long we need to retain the information to comply with certain legal obligations
For example, we retain information for as long as we need it for:
A legal request or obligation, including obligations of Meta Companies or to comply
with applicable law
A governmental investigation
A legal claim, complaint, litigation or regulatory proceedings
74
Why we may preserve your information longer
Your information, including financial transaction data related to purchases or
money transfers made on our Products, may be preserved and accessed for a longer
time period if it’s related to any of the following:
with applicable law
An investigation of possible violations of our terms or policies
To prevent harm
For safety, security and integrity purposes
To protect ourselves, including our rights, property or products
If it’s needed in relation to a legal claim, complaint, litigation or regulatory
proceedings
See some examples[76].
In some cases, we may preserve your information based on the above reasons even
after you request deletion of your account or some of your content. We may also
preserve information from accounts that have been disabled and content that has
been removed for violations of our terms and policies.
75
Delete your information or account
To delete your information, you can:
Find and delete specific information. We offer tools you can use to delete certain
information. For example, you can use Delete buttons to delete content you’ve
posted to your account. You can also use tools like activity log on Facebook to
send content to the trash in bulk. When you delete content, it’s no longer visible
to other users. Visit the Facebook Help Center or Instagram Help Center to learn
what happens when you delete your content or move it to trash.
Permanently delete your account. If you delete your account on Facebook or
Instagram, we delete your information, including the things you’ve posted, such as
your photos and status updates, unless we need to keep it as described in "How long
do we keep your information?" Once your account is permanently deleted you won’t be
able to reactivate it, and you won’t be able to retrieve information, including
content you’ve posted.
How long does it take to delete your information?
If you request that we delete your account or content, it may take up to 90 days to
delete your information after we begin the account deletion process or receive a
content deletion request. After the information is deleted, it may take us up to
another 90 days to remove it from backups and disaster recovery.
If you leave your deleted content in your trash on Facebook or your Recently
Deleted folder on Instagram, the deletion process will begin automatically in 30
days. Or you can start the deletion process right away by deleting the content from
your trash or Recently Deleted folder.
76
Examples of why we might preserve your information
To respond to a legal request
For example, we might preserve your information after you delete your account when
we receive a valid legal request, such as a preservation order or search warrant,
related to your account.
To comply with applicable law
For example, we preserve certain information about purchases or transactions

associated with an account, in line with Meta’s accounting obligations.
For example, if we disable an account for violating our terms or policies, we

preserve information about that user to prevent them from opening a new account.
We also might preserve some of your account information as part of our review of
suspicious activity. This includes any suspicious activity associated with our
financial products, like suspected money laundering or terrorist funding.
For litigation
We may preserve your information where we deem it necessary for reasons related to
a legal claim or complaint. For example, we may be required to defend ourselves in
legal proceedings in a claim related to your information.

and data centers, and externally with our partners[77], measurement vendors[78],
service providers[79] and other third parties[80]. Because Meta is global, with
users, partners and employees around the world, transfers are necessary for a
variety of reasons, including:
So we can operate and provide the services stated in the terms of the Meta
Product[81] you’re using and this Policy. This includes allowing you to share
information and connect with your family and friends around the globe.

parties are located outside of the country where you live, for purposes as
described in this Policy
How do we safeguard your information?
We rely on appropriate mechanisms[82] for international data transfers.

your information. For example, we encrypt your information when it’s in transit
over public networks to protect it from unauthorized access.

Learn more about our legal bases for processing your data and the privacy rights
available to you by reviewing our Philippines Privacy Notice.
This notice applies to our processing of your information to support Facebook,
Instagram, Messenger and other products and features offered by Meta (Meta Products
or Products) to the extent such processing is subject to Philippines law, including
the Data Privacy Act of 2012, its Implementing Laws and Regulations, and issuances
of the National Privacy Commission (“NPC”). This notice supplements our Privacy
Policy.
We collect, use and share the data that we have in the ways described our Privacy
Policy:
As necessary to fulfil our contracts with you. This means providing the services
laid out in the Meta Terms of Service and Instagram Terms of Use.
If you give your consent. For example, you can allow us to show you personalised
ads based on information that advertisers and other partners provide to us about
your activity on their websites and apps, as well as certain offline interactions,
like purchases. You can withdraw consent at any time.
As necessary for our or others' legitimate interests. Our interests include
providing an innovative, personalised, safe and profitable service to our users and
partners, and responding to legal requests. But we won’t process your information
if your interests, or your fundamental rights and freedoms, override ours.
As necessary for vital interests, such as if it will protect you or prevent harm,
like saving your life or someone else’s.
As necessary to comply with a legal obligation.
As necessary for the public interest, such as conducting research or promoting
safety, security, and integrity.
Under Philippines law you have the right to access, rectify, port and erase your
data. You may view and manage your information via the Access Your Information
tool. You may manage a summary of information that businesses and organizations
share with us about your interactions such as visiting their apps or websites via
the Off-Facebook Activity tool. You may manage the information we use to show you
ads via the Ad Preferences tool, and control certain cookies we use to collect
information here. You may also download a copy of your information to keep or
transfer to another service via the Download Your Information tool. You can also
find and delete specific information using provided deletion controls, such as the
Delete buttons to delete content you’ve posted to your account or the Manage
Activity tool to send content to the trash in bulk, or permanently delete your
account. If you request that we delete your account or content, it may take up to
90 days to delete your information after we begin the account deletion process or
receive a content deletion request. After the information is deleted, it may take
us up to another 90 days to remove it from backups and disaster recovery.
Where we rely on your consent to process your information, you can withdraw your
consent at any time. Doing so will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on
consent before withdrawal. However, if you withdraw your consent or if you choose
not to provide your data to us, we may not be able to provide our service to you.
You also have the right to object to certain processing of your information when we
rely on our legitimate interests. We will consider several factors when assessing
an objection, including our users' reasonable expectations, the benefits and risks
to you, us, other users or third parties, and other available means to achieve the
same purpose that may be less invasive and do not require disproportionate effort.
Unless we find that we have compelling legitimate grounds for this processing which
are not outweighed by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms, or the
processing is needed for legal reasons, your objection will be upheld, and we will
cease processing your information. To learn more about the circumstances in which
an objection may be successful, please visit the Help Center. You can also use the
"unsubscribe" link in our marketing communications to stop us from using your
information for that direct marketing.
Learn more about your rights and find out how you can exercise them in the Facebook
Settings and Instagram Settings.
