Threads updated language in its privacy policy to shift from describing 'how data is shared' to describing 'how data is used'. The policy also changed references from 'Threads profile' and 'Threads data' to 'Threads information'. These are primarily terminological updates that do not alter the substantive scope or mechanics of data handling practices.
The updated policy replaces references to 'data sharing' with 'data use' and standardizes terminology across section headings and navigation elements. This is a language refinement rather than a substantive change to what data practices are disclosed or permitted. No new data practices are authorized, restricted, or modified by this update.
