Auto-connect Facebook user to my site

I have being searching for new stuff for my app when i accidentally ran into this site:
http://docs.com/
While entering the site I was connected to my Facebook account and suddenly I saw my name/picture/id presented on that site, let me notice that I didn't register to this site and didn't gave it my access token..

Does somebody have an explanation to this phenomena?

This is not possible for common developers.. This is because docs.com are part of an FB alliance "instant personalization" see this http://www.facebook.com/instantpersonalization/

This is called Instant Personalization:

Just as your News Feed on Facebook is built uniquely for you, instant personalization sites let you easily bring your friends and interests with you.

Partners adhere to Facebook's guidelines and may only use your public information to serve you a personalized experience. Public information includes your name, profile picture, gender, networks, and other information shared with everyone.

When you first arrive on a participating site, you will see a notification and a way to turn off the customized experience in one click. Your information can only be used to present you with a more personalized experience and cannot be transferred to advertisers or used for any other purposes.

This feature is only available for Facebook partners and you could control and turn it off from your Privacy Settings.
