Extension summary

This tool, developed as part of a research study at Northeastern University, lets users see what information Facebook has about them. It determines user information by looking for certain ads that we run. The tool only sends back to the server that information that you are willing to share, and stores even this information only in anonymized form. The tool does not store any personally identifying information about you.
