This is Meta's Facebook Platform Policy, which governs how third-party developers and applications may access, use, store, and share data obtained through Facebook's APIs and platform integrations. The document authorizes Meta to restrict developer access to user data including profile information, friend lists, and activity data, and requires developers to comply with data use limitations, deletion requirements, and platform review processes. The policy also prohibits developers from using Facebook platform data for ad targeting outside of Facebook's own advertising systems, surveillance purposes, or data brokerage activities.
This document is Meta's Platform Policy (Facebook Platform Policy), governing third-party developer and application access to Facebook platform data, APIs, and user information, with its legal basis rooted in Meta's Terms of Service and Developer Policies. The terms authorize Meta to require developers to use data solely for improving user experience within the applications, restrict transfer of user data to third parties without explicit user consent, and mandate compliance with Meta's review and approval processes before accessing certain data types or platform features. The policy establishes notable obligations including requirements that developers delete user data upon request within a defined timeframe, restrictions on using platform data for surveillance, and prohibitions on selling, licensing, or purchasing user data obtained through the platform. The document engages with GDPR obligations for EU-based developers and users, CCPA requirements for California-resident user data, COPPA restrictions on data collection from minors, and FTC Act consumer protection principles; however, the extracted HTML content was substantially truncated and consisted largely of CSS styling code rather than full policy text, which limits the completeness of this analysis. Compliance teams should note that the substantive policy provisions could not be fully extracted from the provided document fragment, and a complete review of the published Platform Policy at facebook.com/developers/policy is warranted.
