Basically, Facebook Home can&#8217;t get any information from you that the Facebook app can&#8217;t. It&#8217;s just an application from Google Play, so if you decide you don&#8217;t like it anymore, it&#8217;s one uninstall button away. While installed, though, it does collect generic Facebook activity, location, Facebook messages, and the apps in your Home app launcher, and that information remains user-identifiable for 90 days. In reality, it really isn&#8217;t much different than the Facebook app.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">It does change a bit if you&#8217;re using the HTC First, though; Facebook can then track apps that generate notifications, but not the content of the notifications. So it has access to a little more information, but not much.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Personally, I think Facebook is being pretty transparent with what data they collect, and they aren&#8217;t asking for much more than what a social networking app needs, anyway. Ultimately, though, it&#8217;s up to the user to decide if that&#8217;s too invasive or not.
