Facebook's tool allows users to control apps and websites data sharing
This book is now making it easier for users to control the data
sharing. Facebook is launching a tool that allows users to control the data
they share with their apps and websites. This new tool is called Off-Facebook
Activity. This new feature will be gradually rolled out to consumers in
Ireland, Spain and South Korea. However, in the coming months, the Off-Facebook
Activity feature will be available to consumers all over the world.
With the Off-Facebook Activity feature, users will be able to see a
summary of all the information that apps and websites send to Facebook through
online business tools like Facebook Pixel and Facebook Login. You will be able
to disconnect all information if you wish. In addition, they will be able to
disconnect their account's Off-Facebook Activity in the future.
Once you clear your Off-Facebook Activity, Facebook will delete your
identity information from the data sent to apps and websites.
That is, Facebook will not be able to know which websites you have
visited and what actions you took during your visit.
Facebook says it will not use the data to display ads after disconnecting
it. This will have a bad effect on Facebook's business, but Facebook believes
that users should be given more control over their data.
