This restriction limits developers' ability to enrich or cross-reference Meta platform data with other datasets, which affects common analytics, personalization, and identity resolution practices used across the industry.
This provision restricts developers from combining users' Meta platform data with data from other sources without Meta's permission, which limits certain data enrichment practices that could otherwise create more comprehensive user profiles without users' knowledge.

"You will not combine or supplement information you receive from us, including Platform Data, with other data from other sources without our prior written consent.— Excerpt from Meta's Meta Platform Policy
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This restriction aligns with GDPR data minimization and purpose limitation principles, which restrict processing personal data beyond its original purpose. The CCPA's provisions on data sharing and the concept of combining datasets to enable identification or profiling are also relevant. The FTC has scrutinized data combination practices in the context of consumer protection enforcement. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: High for developers operating data analytics, identity verification, or audience targeting businesses, where combining Meta platform data with CRM or third-party data is a common operational practice. Developers in these sectors must obtain explicit written consent from Meta before implementing such data combinations. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA developers face dual obligations: compliance with this contractual restriction and compliance with GDPR's requirements that any data combination be based on a valid legal basis and that users be informed. The combination of these requirements creates a high compliance burden in EU markets. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Developers who use third-party data management platforms, customer data platforms, or identity resolution services should audit whether their use of those services involves combining Meta platform data with other data sources, as such combinations may violate this provision without prior written consent. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should map all data flows involving Meta platform data and identify any points where that data is joined, merged, or enriched with other data sources. Written consent from Meta should be obtained before implementing any such integrations, and documentation of consent should be maintained.
