Meta removed a reference to the United States Regional Privacy Notice from its Privacy Policy on April 21, 2026, streamlining the header section. The policy no longer explicitly directs US residents to that separate document for details about their consumer privacy rights. This makes the primary Privacy Policy less clear about where to find information on exercising rights under US state privacy laws.
Consumers: US residents can no longer easily find the rights information by following a link in the main Privacy Policy; they must search for it separately.
The updated Privacy Policy no longer explicitly directs US residents to the United States Regional Privacy Notice, which previously provided details about consumer privacy rights available under state laws like the California Consumer Privacy Act and similar regulations. This removal does not eliminate those rights themselves, but it makes the Privacy Policy less clear about where consumers can find information on how to exercise those rights. Consumers can still locate the Regional Privacy Notice through Meta's website or by searching for it directly, but the removal reduces the accessibility and prominence of that guidance within the primary policy document.
→ Search Meta's website for 'United States Regional Privacy Notice' to locate the document containing details on your state privacy rights.
→ Review the Regional Privacy Notice directly to understand how to exercise your rights to access, delete, or correct your personal information.
