In February, Facebook proposed a new format for its privacy policy. Following positive feedback from both users and privacy experts, the social network wants to make the new-look policy official, but before it does so it wants to give everyone the chance to have a say on the proposed updates.

In an effort to make the policy a little easier to understand, Facebook has added some information that was elsewhere on the website, such as in the Help Center. The company has tried to make some concepts clearer too — the policy contains information about social plugins on third-party websites, for example.

Last week, Facebook rolled out a new set of tools and controls to help you take greater control of your privacy by letting you share the content you want with the people you want. These changes have been clarified in the proposed policy, along with other information. Here are some of the changes you can read about in the new policy, according to Facebook:

• In line controls. “You’ll see how new in line controls make it even easier to know your audience when you post.”

• Tagging. “We explain new ways for you to control the tags that are added to your content and the content that is added to your profile because you are tagged – by using new profile and tag review queues. We also reiterate how tagging works on Facebook, include new ways for you to tag friends and locations in “your posts.”

• Profile controls. We’ve made it even easier for you to manage the information on your profile. Now you’ll be able to adjust who can see stuff on your profile from your profile.

• Information we receive. “We wanted to provide you even more details about the information we receive when you use Facebook. So, we added more details about the types of information we receive, including things like your IP address or, in some cases, GPS coordinates, and how we use that information to provide you with services.”

• Terminology. “We’ve updated how we refer to certain things on Facebook. For example, now when we describe everyone on the internet, you’ll see “Public” instead of “Everyone.” We thought this term was even more clear — we constantly look for ways to make sure our terms make sense to you.”

• Ads and other Commercial Content. “Ads and other commercial content allow us to bring you a ton of free products and services. In case you’re interested, we’ve expanded our explanation of how ads and other commercial content work.”

Through the proposed privacy policy (which you can check out here). Facebook is trying to help users understand more about how the social network operates. You will have until 5:00 p.m. PDT on Friday to submit your comments in a note on the Site Governance Page.
