The policy requires that developers delete user data obtained through the Facebook platform upon user request, and establishes that developers must provide a mechanism for users to request such deletion.

This provision establishes a contractual obligation on developers to honor user deletion requests for platform-sourced data, creating an operational dependency between developer data retention practices and Meta's platform eligibility requirements.
Interpretive note: The document fragment provided was substantially truncated and consisted largely of CSS styling code; specific clause text could not be directly extracted, so this provision is characterized based on Meta's publicly known Platform Policy structure.
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, users whose data has been accessed by third-party Facebook-connected applications have a basis to request deletion of that data from the developer, and the developer's continued platform access depends on honoring such requests.

(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision engages with GDPR Article 17 (right to erasure), CCPA deletion request requirements, and FTC Act principles on unfair data retention practices. Enforcement authorities include EU Data Protection Authorities, the California Privacy Protection Agency, and the FTC. Where developer obligations under this clause may not meet the specificity required for a valid GDPR erasure mechanism, compliance teams should evaluate whether supplementary contractual terms are needed. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The provision creates a conditional deletion obligation for developers, but the specific timeline, verification mechanism, and scope of covered data are not determinable from the truncated document fragment, creating uncertainty in operationalizing compliance. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA developers and those serving California residents face heightened exposure, as GDPR and CCPA both establish enforceable deletion rights that this provision must align with. Developers operating in Illinois, New York, or other states with comprehensive privacy laws should evaluate local deletion right requirements. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Procurement and vendor teams should confirm that developer agreements with sub-processors include back-to-back deletion obligations consistent with this clause. The provision may shift liability for deletion failures to the developer rather than Meta, which should be evaluated in vendor contract reviews. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should audit existing deletion request workflows for Facebook-sourced data, confirm that technical mechanisms exist to identify and delete platform data by user, and document the process for responding to deletion requests within applicable legal timeframes. The absence of a specific timeline in the available document text means teams should default to GDPR's one-month standard where applicable.
