compromised as part of the information Facebook
shared with Cambridge Analytical, here's where to
go to find out.
Facebook is in the process of notifying people if their personal data was shared with
Cambridge Analytical yesterday and today, but notifications can be fleeting and are

To check if Facebook knows whether your data was given to Cambridge Analytics,

Cambridge Analytical by "This Is Your Digital Life."
