Facebook want the ads you see on their platform to be as interesting and useful to you as much as possible. To decide which ads you see, Facebook uses:

• Information you share on Facebook (ex: posts or comments you make) and your activity on Facebook (such as liking a Page or a post, clicking on ads you see).
• Other information about you from your Facebook account (ex: your age, your gender, your location, the devices you use to access Facebook).
• Information advertisers and Facebook's marketing partners share with them what they already have, like your email address.
• Your activity on websites and apps off of Facebook.

Amazing right? Now see How you can control the advertisements you see on Facebook:

 

Listed below are several ways to control which ads Facebook shows to you:

• Adjust your ad preferences: Click or near the top-right corner of any ad on Facebook, and select ''Why am I seeing this?'' You’ll see an explanation of why you’re seeing the ad, and you can choose to hide all ads from that advertiser. Select ''Manage your ad preferences'' to see more audiences or groups that you’re a part of that influence which ads you see on Facebook, and adjust which audiences you're a part of.
• Use interest-based advertising controls: If you don’t want Facebook to use information based on your activity on websites or apps off Facebook for the purpose of showing you ads, you can opt out from your settings.  
  
• You can also opt out from all participating companies through the Digital Advertising Alliance in the US, the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada in Canada or the European Digital Advertising Alliance in Europe, or opt out using your mobile device settings

How are usernames and user IDs used on Facebook profiles?

How are usernames and user IDs used on Facebook profiles? - Usernames and user IDs are part of your public profile, which can help your friends find you on Facebook.

See: How do I add a family member to my About page?

Username on Facebook

Your username is often a variation of your name, like jane.doe33 or janedoe3. You can create your own username or choose a username that Facebook suggests. Some of the things you can do with usernames:
Create a custom link (for example, www.facebook.com/janedoe3) to your profile that you can share with your friends or post on external websites.
Access information about someone through Facebook. For example, if your username is janedoe3, your friends can go to “facebook.com/janedoe3” to see your profile and any public information.


You can control what information you share publicly. 

Facebook User ID

Your User ID is a string of numbers that doesn't personally identify you but does connect to your Facebook profile. You have a User ID automatically, whether or not you choose to create a username.

The Facebook User IDs can:

• Allow someone with the ID to see your profile, including any public information. 
• Help other applications personalize your experience by connecting with your Facebook account. When you allow apps to connect with your Facebook account, they can use your user ID to see public information, like your public profile and your friend list. 
• When you run into issues with an app or game, your User ID can help the developer better investigate the problem to understand and address your specific concerns.
