We also receive information about your online and offline actions and purchases from third-party data providers who have the rights to provide us with your information.

We require each of these partners to have lawful rights to collect, use and share your data before providing any data to us.

  • Use of collected information.

We use the information we have as described in this document to provide and support our Products and related services as follows:

Provide, personalise and improve our Products.

We use the information we have to deliver our Products, to personalise features and content (including News Feed and ads) and make suggestions for you (such as events you may be interested in) on and off our Products. For this purpose we use – as detailed below – your connections, preferences, interests and activities based on the data we collect and learn from you and others (including any data with special protections you choose to provide where you have given your explicit consent); information on use and interaction with our Products; and the people, places, or things you are connected to and interested in on and off our Products

  • We connect information about your activities on different Products and devices to provide a more tailored and consistent experience on all our Products you use, wherever you use them.
  • We use the information we have about you-including information about your interests, actions and connections-to select and personalise ads, offers and other sponsored content that we show you.
  • We use location-related information to provide, personalise and improve our Products, including ads, for you and others. Location-related information can be based on things like precise device location (if you’ve allowed us to collect it), IP addresses, and information from your and others’ use of our Products (such as check-ins or events you attend).
  • We use the information we have to develop, test and improve our Products, including by conducting surveys and research, and testing and troubleshooting new products and features.

Provide measurement, analytics, and other business services.

We use the collected information to help advertisers and other partners measure the effectiveness and distribution of their ads and services, and understand the types of people who use their services and how people interact with their websites, apps, and services.

Promote integrity, security and safety.

We use the collected information to verify accounts and activity, combat harmful conduct, detect and prevent spam and other bad experiences, maintain the integrity of our Products, and promote safety and security on our Products.

We use the information we have to send you marketing communications, communicate with you about our Products, and let you know about our policies and terms. We also use your information to respond to you when you contact us.

  • Share of information.

When you use our Products, you share information with other users.

Some information may be public for other users or not and they can be seen by anyone, on or off our Products, including if they do not have an account. You should consider what you share and who you choose to share with, because people who can see your activity on our Products might choose to share it with others also off our Products. For the same reason you should consider when you comment on someone else’s post or react to their content.

When you choose to use third-party apps, websites, or other services that use, or are integrated with, our Products, they can receive information about what you post or share. Also, when you download or use such third-party services, they can access the data and any information that you share with them.

We share information with partners who use our analytics services; advertisers; measurement partners; partners offering goods and services in our Products; vendors and service providers.

In certain situations (explained in this document) we are requested to share information with law enforcement or in response to legal requests.

  • In the interests of advertisers, developers and other partners to help them understand their customers and improve their businesses, validate our pricing models, and evaluate the effectiveness of their online content and advertising on and off the Happy Crew Products.

  • To promote Facebook Company Products, and issue our direct marketing.
