Data Use Checkup Rolling Out Broadly for Businesses

Facebook Business

Maintaining a safe, thriving developer ecosystem is critical to our mission of giving people the power to build community and bringing the world closer together. Recently, we have made changes to simplify our Platform Terms and Developer Policies so businesses and developers clearly understand their shared responsibility to safeguard data and respect people’s privacy when using our platform and business tools.

These changes represent our strengthened commitment to protect people’s privacy and ensure businesses have the tools and information they need to continue to use our platform responsibly.

Today, we’re announcing the broad launch of Data Use Checkup, a new annual workflow for businesses and platform developers that we began testing in April. Through Data Use Checkup, businesses using the Facebook platform will be asked to review the permissions they have access to and commit that their API access and data use comply with the Facebook Platform Terms and Developer Policies within 60 days or risk losing their API access.
