Instant personalization (sometimes also referred to as "Start now") is a > way for Facebook to help partners (such as Bing and Rotten Tomatoes) on and > off Facebook to create a more personalized and social experience for logged > in users than a social plugin > <https://www.facebook.com/full_data_use_policy#socialplugins> can offer. > When you visit a site or app using instant personalization, it will know > some information about you and your friends the moment you arrive. This is > because *sites and apps using instant personalization can access your > User ID, your friend list, and your **public information > <https://www.facebook.com/full_data_use_policy#publicinfo>.* They automatically give your info to partner sites (from this I can't tell if they share the info *when* you visit those sites or if those sites have access to that information anyway. In any case, it seems the info they share is more-or-less public anyway (see underlined above). The first time you visit a site or app using instant personalization, you > will see a notification letting you know that the site or app has partnered > with Facebook to provide a personalized experience. > The notification will give you the ability to disable or turn off instant > personalization for that site or app. *If you do that, that site or app > is required to delete all of the information *about you it received from > Facebook as part of the instant personalization program. In addition, we > will prevent that site from accessing your information in the future, even > when your friends use that site. > If you decide that you do not want to experience instant personalization > for all partner sites and apps, *you can disable instant personalization > from the “Apps <https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=applications>” > settings page*. > If you turn off instant personalization, these partner third party sites > and apps will not be able to access your public information, even when your > friends visit those sites. COMMENT: Thus, you can turn off info sharing (so far, it seems, only on a case by case basis). If you turn off personalization via this notification, the site/app is required to delete all the info it received from Facebook. If you turn off an instant personalization site or app after you have been > using it or visited it a few times (or after you have given it specific > permission to access your data), it will not automatically delete > information about you it received through Facebook. Like all other apps, > the site is required by our policies to delete information about you if you > ask it to do so. COMMENT: Here I get somewhat confused; the first sentence suggests that the site/app can keep your information if you've already given it permission, or if you have used it multiple times without turning off personalization. Okay. Then the second sentence says they're required to delete that information if you ask. So, I suppose that means *if you didn't turn off personalization when the notification showed up the first time, *turning off personalization is NOT deleting the information which has already been given out. Deletion only happens when the site/app is* expressly* asked to delete your personal information. It seems you do this through Facebook, but how is anyone's guess. -- tosdr.org | twitter.com/tosdr | github.com/tosdr --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Terms of Service; Didn't Read" group.
