Your Conversations, their ads: Meta’s New AI policy

Starting December 16 2025 Meta will begin utilizing user interactions with its AI chat bot to personalize advertisements and content across its platforms including Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp. This means that conversations with Meta’s AI whether text-based or voice will influence the ads and content users see such as posts, reads and group suggestions. However, users will not have the option to opt out of this data usage except in cases involving sensitive topics like religion politics health ethnicity sexual orientation and union membership which will be excluded from ad targeting.

What Ringg thinks: Privacy and transparency aren’t just nice-to-haves, they are essential for building trust with users. Meta’s move to use AI chat to tailor ads without an opt out for most conversations highlights a growing tension between innovation and user control. For startups, this is a big signal if your product collects personal or conversational data, how you handle it can make or break trust with your early users. Giving people meaningful control over their data isn’t just ethical, it’s smart business.
