In the wake of the Cambridge Analytica scandal, Facebook has now listed all the companies that you have given access to your profile information in one convenient location.

You might have taken a Facebook quiz, or logged in via Facebook connect instead of creating a new account on a website, or even given a company access to your information for a giveaway – even if that was years ago, they still have access to your information today.

You might not think this is a big deal, but keep in mind Facebook knows A LOT about you. Facebook knows your relationship status, political leanings, interests and so much more! This information is still available to any company you’ve given permission to access your profile.

So lets do a profile purge shall we?

How to remove company access to your Facebook profile

Step 1. In your Facebook app, tap the stacked lines in the bottom right hand corner (did you know this is also called the hamburger icon? I didn’t! We’re learning stuff!)

 

Step 2. Scroll down to Settings & Privacy

 

Step 3. Select Account Settings

 

Step 4. Scroll down and tap on Apps

 

Step 5. Tap on Logged in with Facebook

 

Step 6. Voila! Here are all the companies you have given access to your profile. Start clearing this sucker out!
