(Before It's News)

Smartphone photo sharing service Instagram on Monday refined its privacy policy to clear the way for sharing data with Facebook, which bought the company earlier this year.

“Nothing has changed about your photos’ ownership or who can see them,” Instagram said in a blog post.

“Our updated privacy policy helps Instagram function more easily as part of Facebook by being able to share info between the two groups.”

The changes were slated to take effect January 16.

Instagram maintained that the coming updates to its privacy policy and terms of service will help it improve the reliability of the service and fight spam.

Policy tweaks include allowing sharing of user information with “affiliates” in a move that could open the door to targeted advertising.
