A little easier to understand data about what kind of information facebook collects about us: (including when you sleep, have sex or are in the toilet)
P.S. These Big-Data thieves – in which we can include Facebook, Google, Amazon, Twiter, Apple, Microsoft – have enough information about us that in the near future they are able to clone us in a virtual world, and we will have no right to forbid them from doing so!

Information from partners.
Advertisers, app developers, and publishers can send us information through Facebook Business Tools they use, including our social plug-ins (such as the Like button), Facebook Login, our APIs and SDKs, or the Facebook pixel. These partners provide information about your activities off Facebook – including information about your
- device
- websites you visit,
- purchases you make, the
- ads you see, and
- how you use their services—whether or not you have a Facebook account or are logged into Facebook.
For example, a game developer could use our API to tell us what - games you play, or a business could tell us about a
- purchase you made in its store.
We also receive information about your - online and
- offline actions and
- purchases from third-party data providers who have the rights to provide us with your information.
*** This offline information can be taken over by other applications such as: gps coordinates, speed of movement, position, etc. (including when sleeping, having sex or being in the toilet) !
I don’t know why, but I saw on https://www.security.org/ that facebook doesn’t collect certain data (Unique Identifiers), which is false, because after reading Facebook Data Policy I understood something completely different. In fact, it seems to me that other information about what data Facebook collects is omitted, which seems suspicious to me !
