Each section of the Policy includes helpful examples and simpler language to make our practices easier to understand.

What information do we collect?

The information we collect and process about you depends on how you use our products. For example, we collect different information if you sell furniture on Marketplace than if you post a reel on Instagram. When you use our products, we collect some information about you .

What if you don't let us collect certain information?

Some information is required for our products to work. Other information is optional, but without it, the quality of your experience might be affected.

We use information we collect to provide a personalised experience to you, including ads, along with the other purposes that we explain in detail below.

For some of these purposes, we use information across our products and across your devices. The information that we use for these purposes is automatically processed by our systems. But in some cases, we also use manual review to access and review your information.

To use less information that's connected to individual users, in some cases we de-identify or aggregate information. We might also anonymise it so that it no longer identifies you. We use this information in the same ways we use your information as described in this section.

How long do we keep your information for?

We keep information for as long as we need it to provide our products, comply with legal obligations or to protect our or other's interests. We decide how long we need information on a case-by-case basis. Here's what we consider when we decide:
  • If we need it to operate or provide our products. For example, we need to keep some of your information to maintain your account.
  • The feature that we use it for and how that feature works. For example, messages sent using Messenger's vanish mode are retained for less time than regular messages.
  • How long we need to retain the information for to comply with certain legal obligations.
  • If we need it for other legitimate purposes, such as to prevent harm; investigate possible violations of our terms or policies; promote safety, security and integrity; or protect ourselves, including our rights, property or products
