# Meta Audiences

Freshpaint Audiences allows you to sync your segmented or imported audiences to Meta Audiences — all while enabling you to maintain compliance with privacy regulations like HIPAA.

In Meta, these will appear as Customer List Custom Audiences, even though Freshpaint refers to them as “Audiences.”
{% endhint %}

This guide walks through how to set up and verify your connection between Freshpaint and your Meta Audiences account.

### Meta account requirements

1. Your Meta account has permission to access the Meta Ads account used for this integration.
2. Your Meta account is in good standing with Meta and not in violation of their [advertising policies](https://www.facebook.com/business/help/488043719226449?id=434838534925385).
3. You have at least [Advertiser permissions](https://www.facebook.com/business/help/155909647811305?id=829106167281625) in your Meta Ads account.
