09/02/2014 – By JJ Velasco Alt1040 -. Payment Service , also known as “terms of service” or ToS are a number of clauses that we found when we checked into a service, we will be using for the first time an application or software you are installing. Clauses written usually in legal language (or pure legal verbiage, as we see it) and describing what the conditions of use of a particular service are, what we do with our data, what responsibilities we have or what obligations of the borrower services.
While it would be logical that such clauses were easily understood by users, the reality is that they are written to be gibberish so great that users accept them unread and unreviewed. If Celularis few days ago spoke of the conditions of WhatsApp and clauses that users accept without reading, is not the only service that “almost” makes us sell our soul to use, any of the social networks that we use also have their abusive and since this week Facebook clauses is 10 years old, we will put focus on social network Mark Zuckerberg to analyze what conditions have accepted on Facebook, surely, without having read .

clauses
clauses that define the conditions of Facebook, fortunately, are in Castilian and therefore breaks a little language barrier. However, despite the translation, Facebook makes it clear that what we are reading is a translation of a text written in U.S. English and therefore prevails as binding (which we accept as a contract) is version English so if there are errors in translation are not taken into account from the point of view of Facebook.
On this basis, the text found in the conditions of Facebook, and that no one actually read, is divided into 19 blocks, in turn, are expanded by a number of “clarifications” pages with more branches and that attempt to explain (though it’s easy to get lost in such page) what does Facebook with our data and the information that we generate on their platform.

Your data, my data, our data -
While Facebook indicates that the attributes are self-owners a license to use the rights of content we climb (our photos, our videos …), the social network of Mark Zuckerberg while we service users and therefore, you can use our content or that generate in applications connected to Facebook. In other words, when we got a photo to Facebook, the service has the right to use and can show our profile picture on the widget that is used in a web or use a video uploaded elsewhere but, yes, the visibility of content depends on one’s privacy settings (and if you have limited viewing of the content we have published).
-
When we remove Facebook content, it is not unreasonable to think that it disappears from the social network, however, things are not so simple. Facebook warns us that if we delete something may not go away completely because, as a good technology company, keep backups of their databases and files and retained for a while in order to retrieve information. Therefore, even if we delete something, it is more likely that Facebook still retains it.
- That
an application access to our data, as Facebook is something that depends on us. Facebook makes sure to show what information and requires the connected application is on our side and accept these conditions of application (and share information with a third party) access.
-
the fact of using Facebook, users we become “product” platform advertisers. Upon checking in we are tacitly accepting that Facebook use our profile picture, our name or our content for their advertising campaigns or segmentation algorithms, in this way, use our data to model the advertising we see or they can see other users (indicating a our friends that we like a particular brand). Our involvement in advertising is mandatory and, of course, will not receive any money for our participation.
- When using Facebook
we allow our data to be stored in the United States and, therefore, we apply the law in force in the country. Anyway, there is a curious exception to users from Germany who have special conditions after various lawsuits against the social network in this country.

Security and protection of users
- Facebook
not guarantee that your platform is safe, it is true that imposes certain “rules of use” and mechanisms to inform users if we run into exercising stalkers , published violent content, are spammers or taking business away from established standards.
-
To register an account with Facebook, you must be over 13 and provide real information (no fake names or check impersonating someone else). In fact, checking, one acquires a series of commitments Facebook which theoretically should fulfill: keep the contact information, do not share our password (though this should be obvious), no transfer account to a third party, use real data and also abide that Facebook can claim (and take away) our username because it claims a trademark or complain.
-
Facebook reserves the right to withdraw content published if you think violate their policy or if anyone has alleged a violation of intellectual property rights. In addition, for repeat users, Facebook may consider disabling accounts without notice.
User rights
-
Facebook can change the terms of service at any time, it is something that is quite clear. While it is true that alert users, when you apply the changes and continue using the service, the social network Mark Zuckerberg assume that we have accepted.
- Our account
can unsubscribe or off whether you ask ourselves as unilaterally by Facebook (eg, by misuse.) Deactivation is temporary, ie, we can return to Facebook and reactivate the account without the data was lost. For delete our account, Facebook will delete your data but, yes, we mentioned the prerogative to top: backups are kept
.
- Although
eliminate our own service, Facebook remains in force some clauses and conditions of service, while maintaining backups, likes that have made or the contents have been shared as “public “.
-
Facebook is an American company, therefore, the legislation applies to your country is: U.S. law protecting copyrights (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) or the law of privacy protection video (Video Privacy Protection Act, ASFV), and in case of demand, the law that applies is the court for the Northern District of California or in state court in San Mateo County. In addition, Facebook is exempt from all responsibility for our actions and if demand for something hayamo fact, they must be free.
- Facebook
no guarantees service availability nor liable for what users do, they drafted a code of conduct that attempt but that there is not guarantee that this will happen in 100% of cases.
- Facebook
not comply with any of its clauses, nothing happens. Facebook does not comply does not invalidate the contract and if there is any clause that can not be enforced by technical or legal reasons not to worry, everything else still applies.
If after reading this you still have questions regarding your rights in Facebook, the social network as well summarized at the end of his contract “We reserve all rights that we do not have expressly granted “
