The data policy has been updated by facebook in light of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which came into active in midnight. In a bid to make it easier for users to review information about privacy, the social media giant will show users an alert on their News Feed encouraging them to review details about advertising, face recognition, and information they’ve chosen to share in their profile. In India, the privacy review on Facebook for Android will be available in 11 local languages.
“Starting this week, we are asking everyone on Facebook to review important information about privacy and how to control their experience. People have told us they want clearer explanations of what information we collect and how we use it,” Erin Egan, Chief Privacy Officer at Facebook said.

As part of GDPR, Facebook presented a similar feature in the European Union. Facebook users should anticipate customised messages that put privacy information on the front. For instance, the company will show how it uses data from partners to show more relevant advertising, how it uses face recognition, including for features that help protect a user’s privacy, and more.
Users will also be shown the political, religious, and relationship information they have chosen to include on their profiles. Finally, updates to Facebook’s terms of service and data policy that the company announced in April will also be displayed upfront.
