Facebook has unveiled new tools, which will let users control the data that apps and websites share with the social networking platform. “Today we’re introducing a new way to view and control your off-Facebook activity,” Facebook’s Erin Egan, Chief Privacy Officer, Policy, and David Baser, Director of Product Management, wrote in a blog post.

The tool, which is called “Off-Facebook Activity,” allows you to see a summary of the apps and websites that send information to Facebook about a user’s activity. With this tool, users will also be able to clear this information from their account if they want to.
