How can I control what information I share with Facebook?

Facebook collects essential data needed to keep your glasses running, and allows you to opt in to provide additional data to improve your experience. Sharing additional data does not give Facebook access to your photos and videos. We provide more details about this data and the choice you have below.

Essential data is information needed to help keep the glasses and the app reliable, secure, and operating normally. We primarily use this data to ensure that the glasses and the app are operating normally, that you are authenticated correctly, your security and privacy are not compromised, and to diagnose and fix any problems that you might have with the glasses or the app. Essential data includes the following types of data:

• Data required to provide our services, such as:
  • Your email and password, which are required to authenticate you with Facebook.
  • Your notifications preference, which are needed to send notifications.
  • Your settings to know if you have enabled Assistant.
• Data required to operate the glasses and the app, such as:
  • Status of Bluetooth connectivity.
  • Battery status to alert you when your battery is low.
  • Status of Wi-Fi connectivity.
  • Operating system version number to ensure the glasses and the app are up to date.
  • Any errors or crashes that occurred on the glasses to ensure we fix them for normal functioning of the glasses and the app.

Additional data is information about how you use the glasses and the app, which we use to provide a better experience. We primarily use this data to evaluate the usefulness of the features we are developing, which enables us to decide what to build in order to offer the most value. Additional data includes the following:

• Data about your usage of the features we offer such as:
  • Number of photos and videos you capture.
  • Length of videos you captured.
  • Number of times you used editing tools to enhance images.
  • Number of times you import the images from the glasses to the app.
  • Number of times you saved photos or videos to the camera roll.
• Data about performance of the features used:
  • Delays associated with transferring images from the glasses to the app.
  • Delays associated with downloading images to camera roll.
  • Delays associated with editing images.

You can choose to share additional data during your initial setup, or change your choice at any time in Settings.
