This TOS Text has been derived from the Facebook Power Editor tool. We show it not for any commercial purposes, only to enrich our blogpost about custom audiences and portray what custom audiences are all about.
1. Custom Audiences Terms
Without limiting any agreement between you and Facebook, by clicking “I accept” and uploading
this data, you agree to the following:
◦ A. You represent and warrant with respect to the data that you are using as part of your
creation of a custom audience that you (or your data provider) have provided appropriate
notice to and secured any necessary consent from the data subjects whose data you are
using, which explains your use of the data, including as needed to be in compliance with
all applicable laws, regulations and industry guidelines. If you have not collected the data
directly, you confirm, without limiting anything in these terms, that you have all necessary
rights and permissions to use the data.
◦ B. You confirm that the data you are using to create your custom audience does not relate
to any data subject who has exercised an option to opt out of having that data used by you
or on your behalf for targeted advertising. To the extent a data subject makes such a
request after you have used data relating to that data subject to create a custom audience,
you agree to remove that data from the custom audience.
◦ C. The information you provide to us for the matching process will not be shared with
other advertisers or third parties and will be deleted as soon as the match process is
complete. Facebook will maintain the confidentiality and security of your custom audience
(stored in your account in the form of Facebook User IDs), including by maintaining
technical and physical safeguards that are designed to (a) protect the security and integrity
of data while it is within Facebook's systems and (b) guard against the accidental or
unauthorized access, use, alteration or disclosure of data within Facebook's systems.
Further, Facebook will not give access to or information about your custom audiences to
other advertisers or third parties, use them to append to the information we have about
our users or build interest-based profiles, or use them in any way associated with your
brand (except to provide services to you), unless we have your permission or are required
to do so by law.
◦ D. Facebook may modify, suspend or terminate access to, or discontinue the availability of,
the custom audiences feature at any time. You may discontinue your use of the custom
audience feature at any time. You may delete your audiences from the Facebook system at
any time through your account tools.
◦ E. If you are using data on behalf of a third party, you also represent and warrant that you
have the authority as agent to such party to use the data on their behalf and bind such
party to these terms.
These Custom Audiences Terms govern your use of data for the creation of custom audiences.
They do not replace any terms applicable to your purchase of advertising inventory from
Facebook, and such terms will continue to apply to your ad campaigns targeted to your custom
audiences. The custom audiences feature is part of “Facebook” under Facebook’s Statement of
Rights and Responsibilities (https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms, the “SRR”), and your use of
custom audiences (including your use of data) is deemed part of your use of, and actions on,
“Facebook.” In the event of any express conflict between these Custom Audiences Terms and the
SRR, these Custom Audiences Terms will govern solely with respect to your use of data for custom
audiences and solely to the extent of the conflict. Facebook reserves the right to monitor or audit
your compliance with these terms and to update these terms from time to time.
