Quiz: What Do Facebook Quizzes Know About You?
External Link: Take the Quiz!

“Who is your celebrity twin?” 
“What hairstyle should you have?” 
“What dead rock star are you?” 
“What decade fits your personality best?” 
“Which superhero are you?”

If you use Facebook, you or your friends have probably taken one of these quizzes. These quizzes might be fun, but it’s shocking just how much of your information they can access. 

That's why we've created our own Facebook quiz that demonstrates what could be revealed when you, or your friend, take a quiz or use any other application on Facebook.

We know it's a little weird to warn you about Facebook quizzes by asking you to take a Facebook quiz -- but at least you know who we are and that we have a real privacy policy that we're committed to upholding. Can you say the same for every unknown developer of every quiz you or your friends take?

Chances are you can't. Our quiz shows you firsthand how Facebook allows any quiz developer to access your personal information – including religious and political views, sexual orientation, pictures, groups, and posts. And how most of your personal information can be exposed even if it's your friend, and not you, who takes one of these quizzes.

If details about your personal life are collected by a quiz developer, who knows where they could end up or how they could be used. Shared? Sold? Turned over to the government?

Take our Facebook quiz and take action to protect yourself now.

Start by taking the quiz and changing your own Facebook privacy settings – and then sign our online petition and demand that Facebook give you real control over your own information by default!

Even if you’re not on Facebook, you can sign our online petition to demand better privacy protections.

It's time for Facebook to upgrade its privacy controls to give you control of your personal information. Thank you for joining us in demanding stronger protection for your online information!
