Your Facebook Photos on Singles Ads

Quick and simple. Here's how to prevent it.



Step 1. Click on the "Settings" link on the blue bar on the top of your Facebook page.
This will bring up your account settings page, with several categories of options you can modify. Look for the section labeled "Privacy".




Step 2. In the "Privacy" section, click on the link called "manage".
This will bring up your account privacy options, with several categories to choose from.



Step 3. Click on the category title "News Feed and Wall".
This will bring up a page that lets you modify options that effect what shows up on your main Facebook page.



Step 4. Click on the tab/button called "Facebook Ads".




Step 5. Click on the dropdown menu labeled "Appearance in Facebook Ads".
Choose the option for "No one". Then click on the blue "Save Changes" button.


That's it! Now your photo(s) will cannot be used for singles or dating ads by Facebook's advertisement parters.
