Delta updated its privacy policy on May 22, 2026, restructuring how users manage their personal information and privacy rights. The policy previously directed users to a single 'Privacy Requests' form and SkyMiles account deletion page; the updated version breaks this into five numbered subsections: Delete SkyMiles Account, Manage Email Marketing, Manage Tracking, Update Information, and Submit Privacy Requests, with specific instructions for each category. The change also adds explicit language stating that if a privacy request does not appear as an option on the form, it is not currently available in the user's location, and clarifies that users can withdraw previously provided consent using the method described at consent time or through the privacy request form.

1 new obligation

Consumers: When you attempt a privacy request, Delta will tell you if that request type is not available where you live.

What this means for you

The updated policy reorganizes how you access and manage your personal information with Delta. Previously, privacy options were described in prose format pointing to a single Privacy Request Form and SkyMiles Help page. The revised policy now lists five distinct categories: Delete SkyMiles Account, Manage Email Marketing, Manage Tracking, Update Information, and Submit Privacy Requests, each with specific instructions. The policy now explicitly states that if your privacy request type does not appear on the form, it is not currently available in your location. You can withdraw consent you previously provided by using the method described when you gave consent or by submitting a privacy request.

What you can do

Review the five privacy choice categories in the updated policy to identify which mechanisms apply to you.

If you attempt a privacy request and see a message that it is not available in your location, contact Delta Help Center to explore alternative options.

Withdraw any previously provided consent using the method described when you provided consent, or submit a privacy request through the privacy request form.
