Facebook policy adds AI personalization, external browsing and third-party app connections for Meta AI features
The updated policy explains that Meta AI uses your interests, location, past chats and Instagram activity to personalize responses and actions. It adds that AI features may use an external web browser, sharing request information with it, and that you can connect third-party apps, with information exchanged and used as described in the Policy. In-app browser data collection now includes your activity on visited websites.
Taken from you

- Connected third-party apps exchange information with Meta, which can use it as described in the Policy
- In-app browser collection now includes your activity on visited websites
