Impact Summary

Low Neutral for users
Affected users
All users

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.
