7.1 Personal Facebook Profiles

A personal Facebook profile represents an individual and is intended for personal social networking.

People use personal profiles to communicate, share updates, connect with others, and participate in communities.

A personal profile should represent the person responsible for it. It should not be treated as a transferable business asset.

7.2 Aged but Inactive Profiles

These profiles were created some time ago but have experienced limited recent activity.

Inactivity does not automatically mean that an account is unsafe or invalid.

However, it also does not create any guaranteed marketing advantage.

7.3 Established and Active Profiles

These profiles have a history of ordinary use and may still be actively maintained by their original owners.

Their activity may include personal communication, community participation, and content sharing.

The original owner's continued control remains important.

7.4 Additional Facebook Profiles

Facebook introduced additional personal profiles to help users organize different interests and relationships.

For example, someone might maintain separate profiles for personal interests and community participation.

Meta announced this feature in September 2023. Its announcement also clarified that additional profiles do not change the requirement for the main profile to use the name a person goes by in everyday life.
