By now, everyone knows that using Facebook (even when sharing news or photos with our closest circle) is expensive, or downloading the app is free. The company charges this service for selling our information to third parties.
If you use Facebook on a regular basis, that means Mark Zuckerberg's company has a lot of information about you about making money: your name, age, date of birth, religion, post, place, hobbies, shopping habits, political views …
And, of course, it knows the same about your friends. But in addition, Facebook not only sells information about you, but also uses information that other companies should show you ads that may attract you based on your profile.
This information includes information that you share, knowingly or unknowingly, and other pages you have visited. It's either because you searched for something on Google or because you logged into another website or application with the Facebook app
Now, the social network has introduced a tool called Work other than Facebook (or Off-Facebook in English) that will allow you to control all of this. We teach you how to use it to improve the privacy of your Facebook account.
What is an Off-Facebook tool or an Off-Facebook Activity?
An activity outside of Facebook (or Off-Facebook in English) lets you know which companies, websites and applications share your information with Facebook, and thus better managing your privacy.
You should be aware that, of course, this tool will not prevent the social network from continuing to use and monetize your personal information, but it will delete the thank you data from third parties ("outside of Facebook").
If you do not use this service, Facebook will continue to have access to the application you open, the times you sign in with your Facebook account, what content you access, what products you want and purchase, and what contributions you make.
On the other hand, if you use it, Facebook will only use the functionality within your social network and your ads preferences when it comes to showing you "relevant ads", not all the information it has collected from other apps and web pages to date.
If you care about your privacy, this tool is a good start, but you should know that it won't prevent Facebook from receiving information from you in the future as you interact with other companies. The only thing that will clear your history.
