Facebook Can STILL TRACK YOU Even If You Delete Your Account<\/a><\/h3>\n

Facebook\u2019s latest scandals involving Cambridge Analytica<\/a> and Barack Obama\u2019s campaign team allowed to break the user rules<\/a> is prompting\u00a0many to ponder whether deleting their Facebook account is the right move. But Facebook can still track you even if you delete your account.<\/p>\n

By connecting your Facebook profile to a third-party app, you\u2019re typically also granting that app permission to access your data. You can check which apps your Facebook account is sharing data with by clicking<\/a>\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That includes your name,<\/a> profile picture, cover photo, gender, networks, username and user ID. These apps can also access your friends list and any other public data. Once the outside parties have access to your data, they can then use it to track different types of activity.<\/p>\n

Many popular apps such as Instagram, Spotify, Airbnb, and Tinder can be connected to your Facebook account. Just weeks ago, for example, MoviePass CEO Mitch Lowe<\/a>bragged that the company stores \u201can enormous amount of information\u201d about users, and even tracks where they go after the movie has ended. MoviePass is also among the many apps that can be connected to your Facebook. And that\u2019s just the beginning.<\/p>\n

According to The Daily Mail<\/em>,<\/a> taking Facebook quizzes from third-party services, or doing image generators (such as the ever-popular \u201cWhat Would Your Baby Look Like\u201d, or \u201cWhat Would You Look Like As The Opposite Sex\u201d), also often gives outside firms access to your data. While these are usually preceded by a pop-up asking permission to access certain parts of your profile, many users have taken to clicking through without thoroughly reading what they\u2019ve just agreed to. Some users are now expressing their horror upon realizing they\u2019ve granted permission to hundreds of third-party apps.\u00a0<\/strong>Other apps that have experienced viral popularity over the last few years, such as Facetune and Meitu, can access your Facebook data as well.<\/p>\n
