As of today, the New FB Privacy setting called "Instant Personalization" goes into effect. The new setting shares your data with non-Facebook websites & it is automatically set to "Enabled". Go to Account>Privacy Settings>Apps & Websites>Instant Personalization>edit settings & uncheck "Enable". BTW If your friends don\'t do this, they will be sharing info about you as well

\' Note: instant personalisation is not yet available for you \'

so if i dont want my details to be shared but my friends do, other parties can access my info? Or have i read that wrong?

Off comes my personal info

strange but the box is ticked but grayed out, and underneath it sayd as others have found "Note: instant personalisation is not yet available for you."

So im guessing by default its checked.

It may take some time, but keep checking. By all accounts this was the whole reason behind facebook, to collect data and be used as a marketing tool, hence why its worth so much money!

Can you please post a link to where it says if your friends have this turned on then it shares your info too?

The sites I read would be littered with articles about it if that was the case.

Everyone is not \'Friends only\'.
