The company is providing more information about the recently introduced features like Marketplace, a fundraiser, share Live and 360 videos, and add creative effects to your photos.

Since Facebook is a unique experience for every user, the company is providing more information on how it uses data and why it’s needed to customize the posts and ads you see, as well as the Groups, friends, and Page suggestions. The company also made it clear that it won’t sell any of your personal data to anyone and is also imposing strict rules on how its partners can use and disclose data.
