Facebook privacy policy adds Meta AI personalisation example and AI sharing with external browsers and apps
The policy adds an example of Meta AI using a user's location, past chats and Instagram likes to personalise a restaurant suggestion. It also says some AI features may use an external web browser, sharing request information with it, and that the browser may pass it on to other third parties. Users can connect third-party apps to their Meta account, including for AI features, which exchanges information with those apps. Other changes are mostly rewording.
Taken from you
- Information from AI requests may be shared with an external browser, which may share it further with third parties
- Connecting third-party apps to AI features means information is exchanged with them
- Others can now reshare your posts and messages by using AI features, as well as by downloading or screenshotting them.
