Information about Page Insights Data

When you use Facebook Products, including Pages, Facebook collects and uses the information described in Facebook's Data Policy under "What kinds of information do we collect?". Learn more about how we use cookies and similar technologies in our Cookies Policy.

For Pages, Facebook provides statistics and insights to Page admins that help them understand the types of actions that people take on their Pages ("Page Insights").

We care about protecting your privacy, so we have designed Page Insights to show Page admins high-level trends without identifying details about you (please note that Page admins might be able to associate your profile picture with your Page likes in Insights if you liked their Page and have set your Page likes to public).
