What Data Does Facebook Have?

Facebook, when asked about these data risks, claims that it will never ask third-party apps or platforms for the health or financial data of its users. The company also claims that it receives activity from businesses and organisations that take use of their tools so as to understand how well their site performs.

Facebook also states that it uses the activity of the users’ based data to show relevant ads and suggest likely topics that might interest them.

But statements do not explain the entire situation. The company is capable of knowing which application you have opened, what you have searched for, what you have purchased and more. Consider one uses some app to book train tickets, Facebook can use the activity and suggest ads to you accordingly.
