Threads updated its privacy policy document structure on May 30, 2026. The heading 'How is my data used?' was changed to 'How is my data shared?', and language describing how to 'Manage my Threads information' was replaced with 'Delete my Threads profile' and 'Manage my Threads data'. The policy also removed a reference to 'Chat with Meta AI support assistant' from the support section. These changes are primarily organizational and do not appear to alter the substantive privacy practices described.
The updated privacy policy reflects organizational and linguistic changes to how Threads presents information about data handling. The shift from 'How is my data used?' to 'How is my data shared?' indicates a reorganization of policy structure rather than a change in substantive data practices. Data management options are presented differently, with options to 'Delete my Threads profile' and 'Manage my Threads data' now featured more prominently in the policy navigation.
