Facebook proposes more transparent privacy policy, desires to know what you believe you studied of it

Facebook's had some privacy foibles within the not-so-distant past, and have been working to enhance its policies to raised inform Facebook users how their info is exploited. Last year, the Irish Data Protection Commissioner's Office did an audit of Facebook's data usage approach, and determined that, while Facebook's doing a tight job, further details must be provided to us all. Well, the social network's recently responded by making a Terms and Policies Hub to make its myriad policies easy to locate. Additionally, it's adding new examples and explanations to its Data Use Policy about how the 'book employs cookies on its site, while also shedding some light on how our info's used for advertising and improving site operations. There's also a close description of the Activity Log tool that allows you to see each piece of information you've entrusted to Mr. Zuckerberg, so that you can better manage your pictures and wall posts. These changes aren't yet set in stone, however, because Facebook desires to know what you're thinking that before doing so. Just head on over to Facebook's Site Governance page to peruse the changes and supply feedback at your leisure, or tune right into a live Q&A session with Chief Privacy Officer Erin Egan next Monday (May 14th) at noon ET to inform her face-to-digital-face.
