# Meta (Facebook / Instagram)

**Unrated.** No grade was applied: the document is silent on what refusing costs you, and silence isn't an F.

Social · UK

## The clause

> We don't sell any of your information to anyone and we never will. We also require partners and other third parties to follow rules about how they can and cannot use and disclose the information that we provide.

Read in full on 21 September 2026. The UK policy says what Meta won't do 
with your information, sell it, and who receives it, by category. On 
what refusing costs it's silent: the ad settings it points to elsewhere 
aren't described in the document, and no route to refuse is stated in 
it. Unrated for that reason, and Meta is asked.

## The three axes

### What refusing costs you

Finding: Not stated.

### Who receives you

Finding: Categories only.
Categories: Advertisers and Audience Network publishers, Partners who use our analytics services, Measurement vendors, Marketing vendors, Service providers.

### Whether the refusal covers everything

Finding: The document does not address 6 points about what the refusal covers.
- Not stated: Whether it applies to data already collected
- Not stated: Whether it covers in-store purchases
- Not stated: Whether it covers data bought about you
- Not stated: Whether it covers profiles inferred about you
- Not stated: Whether it binds a device or your account
- Not stated: Whether it expires
