Meta Platform Policy

This document is Meta's Platform Terms, governing developer and third-party access to Meta's platforms, APIs, SDKs, and associated data through the Meta for Developers program, with the agreement's legal basis rooted in a binding contract between Meta Platforms, Inc. and any entity or individual accessing platform technologies. The terms authorize Meta to terminate or restrict platform access at any time for any reason, require developers to indemnify Meta against third-party claims arising from platform use, grant Meta a broad royalty-free license to use content and data submitted through platform integrations, and impose obligations on developers regarding data handling, user consent, and prohibited use cases. Operationally distinct provisions include the unilateral right to modify or discontinue platform access without notice, the assertion of audit rights over developer data practices, and restrictions on using platform data to build competing products or to combine platform-derived user data with other data sources without explicit authorization; the agreement's breadth of license grants and termination-at-will provisions assert authority that may be constrained in jurisdictions with strong consumer or developer protection frameworks. The document engages GDPR and EU data protection frameworks for developers operating in the EU/EEA, the California Consumer Privacy Act for California-based developers and their end users, COPPA for applications serving children under 13, and FTC Act provisions on unfair or deceptive practices; compliance exposure is heightened for developers who access sensitive user data categories including health information, financial data, or precise location, as these may require additional legal bases under applicable law beyond what the platform terms alone establish.
