Facebook Fleshes Out Privacy Policy To Comply With Data Protection Audits
Today Facebook will start sending the first of three billion notices to users about proposed changes to its privacy policy, which were made to comply with a Spring deadline for implementing recommendations from an audit by the Irish Data Protection Commissioner.

- A detailed new chart of how Facebook uses cookies to improve Facebook but not track you across the web
- A more detailed explanation of how in some cases Facebook will "retain [your] data as long as necessary to provide you services" whether that's less or more time
