Meta introduced a new privacy center, called Privacy Center to educate Facebook users on their privacy options and inform them about how the company collects and uses their data.

Facebook users can now learn more about the company's approach to privacy, read its Data Policy, and learn how to use the many privacy and security controls that they offer.

According to Meta, the Privacy Center is currently available to some users using Facebook on desktop and it will be further available to more people in the coming months.
