If you do business and give data to a company, whether through an app or some offline interaction, then they know who you are and can sync that data with Facebook or other ad companies as long as it follows regulations.

This change only stops easy syncing of a profile based on a stable device-level identifier, often used in (semi-)anonymous situations (like app install ads). It doesn't mean companies can't share data ever again.
