Facebook Announces New App Privacy Checks
(Facebook Rolls Out Updated “Privacy” Review For Apps)
Facebook has changed how it reviews apps that want to connect to its platform. The company announced an updated privacy review process today. This change aims to give users more control over their information. Apps must now explain clearly what data they need and why.
The new review focuses on making things clearer for users. Developers must describe data requests in simple language. They must also justify each piece of information they ask for. This helps users understand what they are sharing. Facebook hopes this builds more trust.
These updates start rolling out to developers this month. All apps using Facebook Login or other tools will face the new review. Existing apps must also pass the updated checks within a certain time. Developers should check Facebook’s guidelines for details.
