**Important Privacy Notice**: Meta AI's privacy practices are governed by Meta Platforms, Inc. and subject to change. This course provides general educational context only. For authoritative, current information about Meta AI's data practices, review Meta's current privacy policy and Meta AI's specific data practices at meta.ai.

Meta's data ecosystem context.

Meta Platforms, Inc. operates one of the world's largest digital advertising businesses. Its business model is built on understanding users' interests, relationships, and behaviors to serve targeted advertising. Meta AI exists within this broader data ecosystem.

This does not mean Meta AI is unsafe – it means students should understand the commercial context in which they are using it, apply the six-category sensitive information standard, and review Meta's privacy policy for specifics on how AI conversations are used.

What Meta AI generally collects.

Like all commercial AI services, Meta AI collects information from your conversations to provide the service and, according to Meta's policies, to improve and train AI systems. Specifics are governed by Meta's current privacy policy.

Privacy controls.

Meta provides privacy controls for how data is used. Specific controls available for Meta AI interactions vary and change over time. Review current controls in your Meta account settings and in Meta AI's specific privacy documentation.

Organizational and professional use.

If you use Meta AI for work:

  • Review your organization's policy on AI tool use – many organizations have specific policies
  • Be aware that work-related conversations in WhatsApp or other Meta platforms may be covered by your organization's data policies as well as Meta's
  • Apply the confidential organizational information standard rigorously

Where to find current privacy information.

For authoritative, current Meta AI privacy information:

  • Meta's Privacy Policy: Check meta.com for the current policy
  • Meta AI-specific information: meta.ai
  • Your Meta account privacy settings

This course cannot provide authoritative current privacy information – Meta's policies are the only authoritative source.
