Facebook Created a Privacy and Data Use Business Hub

Its Clear History feature will debut ‘in the coming months’

Facebook marked Data Privacy Day Monday by introducing a new Privacy and Data Use Business Hub, a one-stop shop for resources that businesses can use to ensure that they are protecting people’s information while on the Facebook platform.

The Privacy and Data Use Business Hub contains information on topics including ads, privacy principles, how data is used in Facebook’s ad products and how to understand regulations such as the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation.

Facebook chief privacy officer Erin Egan said in a Newsroom post that the Clear History feature CEO Mark Zuckerberg initially promised last May will be rolled out “in the coming months.”

Clear History will enable people to see the information Facebook receives about their activity on other apps and websites and to disconnect that information from their accounts.
