Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect and use your personal data to provide you with our services and how you can exercise your data rights. By using our Products, you agree to our policies, including our Privacy Policy, Community Standards, and other supplemental policies.
Most consumers only read the main Terms of Service, but Meta's most impactful provisions regarding data collection, behavioral advertising, and content moderation are contained in separate documents incorporated by reference, making it easy to miss critical terms.
Meta's Terms of Service grant the company an extremely broad license to use everything you post — photos, videos, text — for commercial purposes including advertising, and this license persists even if you delete content that others have already reshared. Meta retains the right to suspend or remove your account, restrict content visibility, and modify these terms with as little as 30 days' notice, meaning the rules governing your account can change materially over time. You can review and adjust your advertising data preferences by navigating to Facebook Settings > Ads, and EU/UK users can exercise additional rights including data access, deletion, and objection to processing via the Facebook Privacy Center.
