If you use Meta AI, interactions may be retained and reviewed

The terms allow certain information to go to select partners for AI responses; Private Processing search queries based on chats are not connected to your account.

The terms let Meta use your name, profile picture, and Facebook actions with sponsored content without payment; only people permitted to see those actions can see it.

Deleting content can take months, including from backups

The terms allow up to 90 days to delete content and up to 90 more to remove it from backups, with exceptions that can extend retention.

The terms allow Meta to suspend access or disable your account for serious or repeated breaches, with review options subject to stated exceptions.
