FriendFeedTechCrunch: A three-month audit by the Office of the Irish Data Protection Commissioner (DPC) has determined that Facebook does comply with EU privacy regulations.

- Making it easier to find the company's privacy and data use policy.
- Explaining to EU users how the facial recognition works.
- Setting new limits on how long the company will keep certain types of data.
- Letting users delete more kinds of information.
- Making sure the privacy links for third-party apps are working.
