3 days ago, I get this email from Facebook "Complete business verification for Next Episode" which notifies me that my Facebook app (which handles the Facebook login functionality) now needs to be connected to a verified business account.

This is where they announced this back in February: https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/2023/02/01/develop...

Now, going through the steps of filling out my name, address, phone number etc, I checked the "How we use your information" link and in it, it said "In certain cases, we'll update your publicly available Page Transparency information with some of the details you confirm during verification".

In the Page Transparency information page: https://www.facebook.com/help/323314944866264/ it says the information about the owner may include "The Confirmed Page Owner's verified legal name and registered city, country and/or phone number". Later on, on the same page, they say you can remove (or request to remove) some of the information visible there, but they never specify which information you'll be able to remove.

Anyone with an experience with this? I don't want my address and/or phone number publicly visible, so what are my options here?

For now, I have removed the option to sign up with Facebook (existing users can still use it to sign in) and I plan to completely remove it (by the time the December 11th deadline comes around) notifying users about the change upfront and giving them the option to switch to Sign in with Google or with username and password.
