If you visit other websites that also use "Facebook Conversion," this information will also be linked to your user account. However, we cannot see which other websites you visit. If you are registered with a Facebook service, Facebook can associate your visits with your account. Even if you are not registered with Facebook or have not logged in, there is a possibility that Facebook obtains and stores your IP address and other identifying features.
