Apparently, Facebook has agreed to let a third party advertiser use your posted pictures without your permission. Here is how they describe it:

Facebook occasionally pairs advertisements with relevant social actions from a user’s friends to create Facebook Ads. Facebook Ads make advertisements more interesting and more tailored to you and your friends. These respect all privacy rules. You may opt out of appearing in your friends’ Facebook Ads below.

To prevent this, you need to change your settings.

Here’s how to do this:

  1. Hover over SETTINGS (near the top of your page)
  2. Select PRIVACY SETTINGS
  3. Select NEWS FEEDS AND WALL
  4. Select the tab that reads FACE BOOK ADS
  5. Use drop down box to select NO ONE
  6. Save your changes.

A good idea: once a month take a moment to reveiw “what’s new” on FB so that you stay abreast of any changes that affect your profile and content.

About Virtual Online Business Support Manager
I have been assisting business owners for over six years (can’t believe it’s been that long) and I absolutely love what I do. In my previous life I worked as a social worker, promotions manager, marketing manager, circulation manager, event planner, trainer and executive to several members of cabinet in the government of the Bahamas. I continue to stay abreast of the latest and most cost effective tools and applications to help you grow your business. As a business owner myself, I know that staying abreast of all your business needs to sustain an exceptional online reputation can become overwhelming. That is why I am so glad that I figured out ways to make all of the pieces work together in a way that is affordable and easy to manage.
