"We use Facebook only for identification. No sharing without your permission (promise!)"

While Lookmark may intend to follow all honorable practices, I'm curious if there are things Facebook can decide to do to subvert this.

IOW, does Facebook track the use of an account for Lookmark identification? Are they tracking when a user signs in to Lookmark?

Just how much does Facebook get to know about a user's use of Lookmark?

Thanks, BTW, for offering a non-FB way to sign up.

Thanks for checking it out.

We don't ask for permission to post to your Facebook feed, so FB can't change anything there. Facebook definitely tracks the last time you used an app -- they expose it to you via the Application Settings tab (http://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=applications). I don't know what else they're tracking behind the scenes though. That's why we offer a non-Facebook login option.
