I read the Statement of Rights and Responsibilities and Privacy Policy for Facebook and this is what they say about how they will use our information:
1. Our name, profile photo, list of friends, fan pages, gender, region, and networks will be publically available to everyone however we can limit the ability of others to find this information through the search. We can limit who can see information or photos/videos tagged of us by other users in the privacy settings. Although Facebook has set a default setting, we can use the privacy settings and application settings to limit which of our information becomes available to everyone within Facebook and outside of Facebook. So basically it is our responsibility to set the appropriate privacy setting for our personal information.
2. Some of the information we share or actions we take will appear on other users home pages. Facebook stores backup copies of information we post on our profile so that this information and other content shared on other user’s pages will still remain even if we remove the content from our profile and even deactivate or delete our account all together.
3. Facebook won’t use or share our information with advertisers without our consent, but advertisers are allowed to select characteristics of users they want to show their advertisements to. Facebook may also collect information from advertisers on how we respond to ads.
4. The privacy policy does not cover applications that are not owned or controlled by Facebook.
5. Users must be above the age of 13.
6. If we don’t want Facebook to store metadata associated with the content we share such as photos, we can remove the metadata before uploading any content.
7. Facebook may retain details of transactions or payments conducted on the network but will only keep the payment source account number with our consent.
8. Facebook will keep track of all the actions we take on Facebook like adding friends, joining groups or fan pages, uploading photos, and others. Facebook will also collect information from any device we access Facebook on (computer, mobile, and other) about browser type, location, IP address, and pages visited.
9. Facebook may allow search engines and third-party applications to access information set to “everyone” and our public listing unless we turn it off in the privacy settings.
10. Facebook may give information to court orders or other requests if it is required by law.
11. Facebook uses secure socket layer to encrypt our sensitive information such as credit card numbers.
12. Facebook may limit our use of site features if there are any abuse or violating behaviors.
13. Facebook can not guarantee that only authorized people view our information.
14. Facebook will not be responsible for third party violation of any privacy settings or security measures, but users can report any security violations to Facebook so that it takes stepts to keep our information secure.
15. Facebook can change its privacy policy and will notify us by publication.
In case there is a breach of security on Facebook,
1. Facebook will remove any information or content posted if it infringes or violates someone else’s rights or violates the law.
2. If someone repeatedly infringes others rights, Facebook will disable their account.
3. Facebook has the ability to terminate anyone’s account if they violate the Statement of Rights and Responsibilities. In the case that we have any claims against Facebook, disputes will be resolved in a state or federal court located in Santa Clara County, California.
