you don't use Facebook but that doesn't mean you don't have an account there and that they aren't using it to track every mention of you by anyone you know who also has an account. They're also buying data about you from data brokers and using that to fill your dossier and tracking your browsing/app usage history through facebook buttons and "sign in with facebook" features.
That's the problem with inescapable companies like facebook, Microsoft, and Google. You don't have to like them, you don't even have use them, but they'll still be collecting your data and making money at your expense. You aren't allowed to opt out.
