The policy restricts developers from using Facebook platform data for purposes other than providing or improving the user-facing experience within the requesting application, prohibiting use for unrelated advertising, analytics sold to third parties, or off-platform targeting.

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 language stating that 'Your interactions with AIs will be used to improve AI at Meta.' Previously, users accessing the Meta AI support assistant were informed through this policy that their support conversations could be used for AI improvement. The removal of this disclosure language means the updated policy no longer contains this specific statement about data use, though Meta's broader privacy policies may still address AI model training practices elsewhere.
View change record →The updated policy no longer includes language describing the availability of a 24/7 Meta AI support assistant for resolving account, privacy, and login issues. Previously, the policy stated that users could access instant help anytime through this assistant. The removal of this language means the policy no longer commits to providing round-the-clock AI-powered support for these specific account-related problems. Users can no longer reference this policy language as evidence of a support availability guarantee.
View change record →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.
View change record →Under this provision, user data obtained by third-party applications through Facebook's platform, including profile information and behavioral signals, may only be used to improve the user experience within that specific application, not for unrelated advertising or third-party analytics products.

(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision engages with GDPR Article 5 purpose limitation requirements, CCPA use restriction provisions, and FTC Act principles on contextual integrity of data use. EU Data Protection Authorities and the FTC are the primary enforcement authorities. The provision may also interact with the FTC's guidance on cross-context behavioral advertising. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The phrase 'improving user experience' is subject to interpretive variance, and developers building analytics or advertising products may face uncertainty about whether their use cases fall within the permitted scope. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA users benefit from GDPR purpose limitation enforcement that independently reinforces this restriction. California residents benefit from CCPA provisions on secondary use restrictions. Developers operating cross-border should evaluate whether their data use practices satisfy both the policy restriction and applicable law. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Developers who share platform data with analytics vendors, advertising partners, or measurement providers should review those arrangements against this use-limitation provision. Vendor contracts should include representations that platform data will not be used for purposes beyond the permitted scope. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should document the specific user-experience purposes for which each category of platform data is used and confirm that no data flows support off-platform advertising targeting or third-party analytics products. Annual audits of data use practices against approved platform permissions are advisable.
