Guide to Stopping Facebook from Sharing Your Data

• Recently happened data-mining case of Cambridge
  Analytica has highlighted the issue of privacy
  breaching. The Facebook (FB) allows you to use
  the applications and websites and other services
  integrated with FB. FB has been sharing your
  private messages with particular parties provided
  that your FB profile is linked with this app. You
  can get rid of the third parties as they gather
  your private information.

Facebook Sharing your data

• Here are some following steps to block the other
  companies from getting your personal details and
  protect your FB account from privacy breaching.
• Lets get ready to understand the way out
• 1. Launch the FB page and look at the list of
  applications that your profile has been linked
  with it. When you doubt on the credibility of any
  application on FB, then you should revoke it as
  soon as possible.
• 2. For this, press View and edit in the box of
  application for checking its permissions, along
  with the option of editing.
• 3. Examine the block next to an application and
  press Remove to halt an application from
  linking with your FB account.
• 4. Press Remove to detach the application from
  your FB account and examine the box tick if you
  desire to remove the application based content
  that particular app posted in your FB account.
• 5. You have done the removal of an application by
  pressing Done.
• Here are some prevention control measures to keep
  in mind

1. Employ Incognito and private-browsing mode

• It is wisely to access FB site through Incognito
  mode of Google Chrome or private navigation mode.
  Through this way, your private information will
  be less likely to be tracked and delivered to FB
  itself. You can do this on Chrome on the computer
  by pressing ShiftCtrlN on the keyboard. FB
  released the latest extension known as Facebook
  Container Extension that by default launch the FB
  site in a private browsing window. When you are
  active on FB and press on the Facebook unrelated
  link, then that URL would launch in the same tab.

2. Log out the FB account while not working on it

• When you remain logged into FB on your system,
  then FB can trail your footprints across the site
  despite being inactive on your FB account. FB may
  deliver the details on your onscreen activities
  and happenings to the third parties.
• 3. Employ a tracker blocking device
• If you desire to be logged in on your system and
  want to bypass the repeatedly inserting complex
  passwords, then you can do this by Tracker
  Blockers. By the help of Tracker Blocker, you can
  remain under the FB authentication process for
  signing in, but you will switch the FBs tracking
  arms. It is here noted that these Tracker Blocker
  services dont protect you from FBs eyes until
  you are logged into the system.

• 4. Pull out of FB social media networking site by
  API sharing 
• You can consider this measure if you have to be
  in contact with close friends and others on FB
  and not using other apps. For doing this, you
  have to pursue the given steps
•    Open Apps, Websites and Games page on FB
  and hit Edit box under this.
•    Press Turn Off. Now all the services
  linked with your FB will be detached from your FB
  account. It is noted that this measure doesnt
  remove your personal data from those apps or
  games, hence you have to delete them manually.
• 5. Remove FB-owned applications from your device 
• It is weird to sound but the apps like FB,
  Messengers, Instagram should be uninstalled from
  your device as they have much access into your
  personal information along with your private
  photos. FB itself claims that FB app can do
  anything that you will do with this app.
