Irish regulators are seeking “urgent” clarifications from Facebook Inc. after the social media company informed users of changes to its privacy policy overnight.

Facebook, which is overseen by Irish data protection regulators in the European Union, said that it recently proposed changes to its data-use policy and its statement of rights and responsibilities. The changes give users more detailed information about shared data including “reminders about what’s visible to other people on Facebook.”
