The Social Networking Site Rolls Out its Newest Version of Privacy Tools

Since two Facebook privacy applications were released a few weeks ago, the social networking site has once again revamped its privacy policy.

Unlike the last, this new version is simpler and extremely easy to use.

Now, with one click, Facebook users can select if they want to share their information with everyone, friends of friends, or friends only. The option to drill down - or customize - privacy settings is also still available.

Facebook has also pledged to make less information publicly available. From now on, people whom you are not friends with on Facebook will only be able to see your name, profile picture, gender, and networks - if you choose.

Facebook Fan Pages also have privacy controls now. For instance, you can block people from seeing what Pages you have "liked" and also prevent yourself from showing up in the "People who like this" box on the actual Page. While this is not optimal for businesses, it does give Facebook users an added sense of security.

Third-party apps will also have to ask for permission to access any Pages that are not visible to everyone.

Keeping your personal data under wraps on Facebook is now easier than ever.

Be proactive. Protect your information.
