I had written a small blog post about a few weeks back. This tab has been covered many times by other news organisations, especially when Facebook data mining procedures first resulted in a light scare wave.
I'll quote myself:
'...the really scary thing is that it likely knows much more, and these are only a part of what it knows. Although these are said to be used for displaying adverts, they are updated regardless of whether or not you are opted out of the interest-based adverts program.'
