Meta and other social media platforms require your privacy policy to explicitly state what data is collected, including information obtained via permissions APIs, and the specific purpose for processing that data. You must provide a clear, actionable mechanism—such as an email address or a specific contact form—for users to request the deletion of their data. Furthermore, your policy must comply with applicable privacy laws (such as GDPR or CCPA), outline any third parties with whom data is shared, and remain publicly accessible via a valid, unbroken URL submitted in your developer App Dashboard.
Below is a comprehensive privacy policy template designed to meet these platform and legal requirements. Replace all bracketed text with your specific details.
