Event Summary

Instacart's Privacy Policy was updated on May 7, 2026 to remove a space before the final period in a sentence about contacting the company. The previous version read 'You may also contact us by writing to us at the address provided below under Contact Information .' with a space before the period. The updated version reads 'You may also contact us by writing to us at the address provided below under Contact Information.' without that space. This is a formatting correction with no operational impact on how users contact the company or what rights apply.

LOW

Governance Analysis

This change has no operational significance. The updated language maintains the same contact procedure and privacy disclosure as before; only a spacing error was corrected.
