This provision establishes that platform data obtained through Facebook APIs may not be monetized through secondary data markets, restricting the downstream commercial use of user identifiers, social graph data, and behavioral signals by developers.
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 accessed by third-party Facebook applications, including profile identifiers and activity signals, may not be sold or transferred to data brokers, establishing a stated restriction on secondary commercial use of that data.

(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision engages with CCPA provisions governing data sales and opt-out rights, FTC Act principles on deceptive data practices, and GDPR purpose limitation requirements under Article 5. The FTC and California Privacy Protection Agency are the primary enforcement authorities. The CCPA definition of 'sale' is broad and may interact with how this provision is applied in practice. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The enforceability of this restriction depends on Meta's audit and enforcement mechanisms, which are not fully described in the available document fragment. Developers who transfer data to analytics vendors that also operate as data brokers may face interpretive uncertainty about whether such transfers are covered. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: California-based developers and those serving California residents face heightened exposure under CCPA, which grants consumers a right to opt out of data sales and requires disclosure of sale practices. EU/EEA developers face GDPR Article 5 purpose limitation requirements that independently restrict secondary data use. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Vendor agreements that involve sharing Facebook platform data with analytics partners, marketing platforms, or data enrichment services should be reviewed to confirm they do not constitute prohibited transfers. Indemnification clauses in developer agreements with Meta may shift liability for prohibited data transfers to the developer. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should map all data flows involving Facebook platform data to confirm that no transfers to third parties constitute data sales or broker arrangements. CCPA-specific data sale opt-out mechanisms should be reviewed for consistency with this provision.
