Are you letting Older Facebook Apps access TOO MUCH of your Data?
Applications that are pre-2009,collected a great deal more data than today’s current apps. Pre-2009 Apps collected contact information, photos, videos, and your friends’ information. Applications created after 2009 allow you to alter the sharing interests, friends’ lists and other personal information as a result of a legal settlement. In other words, you can opt out of the intrusiveness. Now go there and do it, and then come back here and comment.
How to delete a FACEBOOK APP:
So how do you decide what apps you want to delete? It’s very simple. Follow these Step by Step instructions and PROTECT your privacy from nosey third party apps!
1. In the very top right hand corner, in the blue strip, you will see the word “Account”. Click on the Pull down menu, and the Click on “Privacy Settings”.
2. Once you are on the “Privacy Settings” Page, go to the Bottom Left Hand Corner, and where it says “Apps and Websites, ” click on “Edit your Settings”.
3. You Should now be on the page that says “Choose your Privacy Settings–Apps, Games and Websites”. Go to the top section that says “Apps you use”. They trick you by not showing them all. Go over to the right and click on the button labeled “Edit Settings”.
4. This will take you to the page called “Apps you use”. This will show you all your apps. You can click on the “x” to delete that app or you can click on the words “Edit Setting” to go in and see how much information the app collects. Your newest apps are on top, your older apps are on the bottom. You will note the older apps collect a lot more information! I deleted quite a few of mine!
