Facebook Wants More Transparency

ICED Media — Wed, 16 May 2012 15:57:24 +0000

Facebook’s Chief Privacy Officer, Erin Egan, posted a note on Friday announcing changes that they are implementing with their Data Use Policy in order to make it more transparent and easier to understand for the average user:

“We’re adding more examples and detailed explanations to help you understand our policies. For example, we include additional tips, marked with a light bulb so you can find them easily. We’ve added new links to our Help Center. We created a new section explaining how we use “cookies” and similar technologies and updated the corresponding explanations about cookies in our Help Center. We also provide more information about how we use data to operate Facebook, to advertise, and to promote safety and security for Facebook users. These examples and explanations are designed to help you understand what the Data Use Policy means in practice.”

And he also did a live chat online on Monday to talk about the changes and answer questions:
