Threads updated its privacy policy on May 29, 2026 with minor wording changes. The section heading changed from 'How is my data shared?' to 'How is my data used?', and the menu option 'Delete my Threads profile' was replaced with 'Manage my Threads information'. The policy also removed a reference to 'Chat with Meta AI support assistant' from the help section. These are organizational and label clarifications with no material change to data practices or user rights.
The updated policy reflects clarified labeling and menu structure but does not materially change data practices, collection, use, or sharing. The change from 'How is my data shared?' to 'How is my data used?' is a heading revision that does not alter underlying policy content. Users continue to operate under the same substantive privacy framework; this change is primarily organizational.
Changed from 'How is my data shared?' to 'How is my data used?' for organizational clarity.
