Threads updated its supplemental privacy policy on April 19, 2026 by restructuring the table of contents. The policy added two new section headers: 'How is my data shared?' and 'Delete my Threads profile', along with a section titled 'What information is public?'. The document content appears to remain substantively the same, with the change consisting primarily of reorganization and section navigation rather than modifications to underlying privacy terms or practices.

What this means for you

This change restructures how Threads' supplemental privacy policy is organized and navigated rather than modifying the underlying privacy practices or user rights. The added section headers on 'How is my data shared?' and 'Delete my Threads profile' make existing policy provisions more discoverable. The substantive privacy terms stated in the policy remain effective as previously disclosed.

This change record describes what was added, removed, or modified in the document. Analysis reflects what the updated agreement states or permits. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
