Meta Platform Data

Bearing Fruit Co. operates internal tools that connect to Meta ad accounts for authorized company operators. BFC Reporting API is read-only and used for reporting. Bearing Fruit Co. may also operate a separate Meta ad operations app, if approved and enabled, for internal advertising operations such as review, dry-run change planning, and approved campaign, ad set, or ad status and budget actions. These tools are not consumer-facing. For questions about this section, contact us at compliance@bearingfruitco.com.

Data we process through Meta. Our Meta-connected internal tools may access the following categories of data from Meta ad accounts:

• Ad account IDs and asset IDs
• Campaign, ad set, ad, and creative metadata
• Delivery status, configured budgets, bid settings, and related operational settings
• Performance metrics such as impressions, clicks, spend, and reporting dates
• Read-only recommendations, approval records, dry-run records, and operator audit logs
• Operational logs for debugging, security, compliance, and platform access review

Tool boundaries. BFC Reporting API remains read-only and is not used for publishing content, managing inboxes, social posting, or write automation. Any separate Meta ad operations app must be limited to authorized business ad-account operations and must use approval, audit, and rollback controls before provider-side changes are applied. We do not use Facebook Login for this website.

Purposes of processing. We process Meta Platform data for:

• Paid media reporting and internal analytics
• Operational monitoring of ad delivery and spend
• Advertising operations review, recommendations, approvals, and provider-side audit trails
• Fraud, abuse, and security prevention
• Compliance with platform and legal obligations

Sharing. Meta Platform data processed by our internal tools is accessible only to authorized Bearing Fruit Co. staff and approved contractors. We use cloud hosting, analytics, logging, and database providers as needed to operate the tools. We do not sell Meta Platform data.

Retention. We retain Meta Platform data only as long as reasonably necessary for reporting, financial records, security, and legal compliance.

Deletion and correction requests. To request deletion or modification of Meta Platform data processed by our internal tools, visit our Meta Platform Data Deletion page or contact us at compliance@bearingfruitco.com.
