Common Myths about Facebook
No. We will always keep Facebook a
free service for everyone.
No, Facebook's ad targeting is done
anonymously by our system, without sharing personally identifiable information
with advertisers. If advertisers select demographic targeting for their ads,
the system automatically matches those ads to the appropriate audience.
Advertisers only receive anonymous, aggregated reports to let them know that
their ads were seen by the groups they targeted.
No. You have control over how your
information is shared. We do not share your personal information with people or
services you don't want. We do not give advertisers access to your personal
information. We do not and never will sell any of your information to anyone.

No, Facebook doesn't currently provide an application that
allows people to track profile (timeline) views or statistics on the views of
any specific personal content. Third party developers, however, may offer
applications that provide some of this functionality. Please keep a few things
in mind for these applications:
- Applications CANNOT track profile (timeline) visits for people who simply go to another person's profile (timeline); Facebook has made this technically impossible.
- In order to be tracked by an application, you will need to specifically agree to allow the application to track your actions.
- Adding an application that provides this functionality is purely optional. If you do not want to participate, don't add the application to your account.
No, Facebook does not provide a
functionality that enables you to track who is viewing your profile (timeline),
or parts of your profile (timeline), such as your photos. Third party
applications also cannot provide this functionality. Applications that claim to
give you this ability will be removed from Facebook for violating policy. You
can report applications that provide untrustworthy experiences.
None of your information – your
name, basic info, what you like, who your friends are, what they have liked,
what they recommend – is shared with external sites you visit with a plugin.
Because they have given Facebook this space on their sites, they do not receive
or interact with the information that is contained or transmitted there.
Similarly, no personal information about your actions is provided to
advertisers on Facebook.com or on the other site.
No. An app should never force you to
log in again, fill out a survey, enter a promotion, download a toolbar, or take
any other unrelated action. The only thing that an app can require you to do to
see content is to 'Like' its profile page.
If you believe that an app is abusive, please report the app by clicking on the Report App button towards the bottom of the left column on the app's profile page.
