I recently quit Facebook, but decided to return for one final task: To find out exactly what Facebook knows about me.
After some quick digging, I found out that Facebook knows:
- Where I’m logged in and on what computer
- I like smartphones and am an early tech adopter
- I’ve clicked ads for laptop briefcases
- I am most likely to interact with ads from Lyft and Nike over others
- I’m liberal but prefer to read about Republican news stories
- I’m married
- My birthday is in March
- I work for CNBC
- I tend to access the social network from a tablet or smartphone.
I provided some of this information to Facebook, while other info Facebook gathered based on my interactions.
I’m going to deactivate my account again, but before I do I wanted to walk you through how to find out what Facebook knows about you, too.
