Well, no one can say Facebook is hiding its privacy policies any more. The network just proposed updates to clarify the information it collects on you and how it uses that data to sell ads. Facebook also turned its privacy check-up into an animated interactive tour in a new section called Privacy Basics (https://www.facebook.com/about/basics) designed to guide confused users through every available setting.</p><p>
The visual overhaul of privacy controls is part of Facebook’s updates to its terms of service (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/update) and data use policies (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/update), which are open to public comment (https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/?id=541939745937896) for the next seven days before Facebook finalizes them. The network hasn’t actually changed or added any privacy settings, just made them easier to understand with the new guide, which covers basics like how to delete posts and change the audience of a status update from public to friends only.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2847238/facebook-lays-ground-for-ad-push-and-payments-with-updated-privacy-policy.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
