This provision establishes a use-limitation principle that confines the permissible scope of platform data use to the application context in which it was obtained, restricting cross-context behavioral profiling and off-platform advertising applications.
Interpretive note: The document fragment was substantially truncated; this provision is characterized based on Meta's publicly known Platform Policy structure rather than directly quoted clause text.
The updated policy removes explicit disclosure that interactions with Meta AI are used to improve Meta's AI systems. The policy previously stated this practice directly; the revised language no longer includes this statement. Under the updated terms, users accessing the policy will see consolidated references to Meta Terms, AI terms, and Privacy Policy rather than separate Meta AI-specific terms, though the Privacy Policy may contain related disclosures about AI training and data use. You can review Meta's Privacy Policy directly to understand how interaction data may be used for AI improvement purposes.
