Meta

You are agreeing to grant Meta a broad, transferable, and sub-licensable copyright license over your uploads.

“you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, and worldwide license to host, use, distribute, modify, run, copy, publicly perform or display, translate, and create derivative works of your content”

What that means: Meta can legally share your creative work with other companies or modify it extensively without additional permission.

The license allows Meta to sub-license your content to third parties and create derivative works, going beyond simple hosting.

You are agreeing to accept the service with no warranty of safety, security, or error-free operation.

“Our Products, however, are provided "as is," and we make no guarantees that they always will be safe, secure, or error-free”

What that means: You cannot rely on the service being secure or functional, and Meta disclaims responsibility for its condition.

The service is provided without warranties, shifting the risk of errors or security failures to the user.

You are agreeing to let Meta track your activity on and off their products for personalization.

“we use data about the connections you make, the choices and settings you select, and what you share and do on and off our Products - to personalize your experience.”

What that means: Your behavior across websites and apps outside Facebook is collected and used to target you.

Meta tracks user activity both on and off their platforms to build profiles for personalization.

You are agreeing that complete removal of your data may take up to 180 days due to backup retention.

“After the content is deleted, it may take us up to another 90 days to remove it from backups and disaster recovery systems.”

What that means: Deleted data persists in hidden backups for months, preventing immediate full removal.

Data remains on backup systems for up to 180 days total after deletion requests.

You are agreeing that continued use of the service binds you to updated terms without further consent.

“Unless otherwise required by law, we will notify you before we make changes to these Terms and give you an opportunity to review them before they go into effect. Once any updated Terms are in effect, you will be bound by them if you continue to access or use our Products.”

What that means: New rules apply automatically if you keep using the app, even if you didn't actively agree to the change.

Continued use constitutes acceptance of new terms, binding the user without explicit re-consent.
