I was a bit surprised today when I overheard a friend taking about he is worried about Facebook using his pictures for its own purposes. Wasn’t this already cleared by Facebook last year? Anyways if you happen to be like my dear friend and are worried about your pictures appearing on Facebook ads you shouldn’t be. Why? Lets answer that in this post.
You can simply Click My Account and select Account settings and you will be displayed the options. From there click on Facebook Adverts to learn the policy Facebook has on sharing your activity on third party apps, including ads. The first and foremost is the fact that your information isn’t shared by Facebook without your permission.
The social network makes sure that none of your information is shared by any third party apps. What it does do is that at times it lets Ads make use of your activity on the apps across the platform that you are using or that on the Fan pages that you are a part of. Plus your photo only appears on the pages of friends who you have added. Again the picture shown is only the one you have on your profile page already and no image is taken from your albums.
But still if you do have issues with that and want your profile to be more secure than simply select the options from the dropdown menu to ensure than none of your information is made use of on Facebook pages.
