Threads updated its privacy policy on June 2, 2026 to reorganize navigation elements and introduce new AI-related disclosures. The updated policy reorders support menu items, removes a standalone 'Other ways to get help' section, adds explicit language stating 'Your interactions with AIs will be used to improve AI at Meta', and includes new FAQ section headers on data collection and sharing. The practical change establishes that user interactions with Meta AI assistants available through Threads will be used for AI model improvement at Meta.
The updated policy establishes that interactions with the Meta AI support assistant available through Threads will be used to improve AI models at Meta, not solely to resolve customer issues. Previously, the policy did not explicitly disclose this use of support interactions. The revised terms also reorganize help and support navigation without materially changing access to account controls. You can review the updated privacy policy and decline to use the AI support assistant if you prefer not to have those interactions used for AI model improvement.
The updated terms establish explicit disclosure that support interactions with Meta's AI assistant will be used for AI model improvement, expanding the stated secondary use of conversation data beyond customer support resolution. This disclosure may affect how users assess privacy implications of using AI support and may require updates to vendor agreements or customer privacy notices in organizations that rely on Threads or Meta services.

This change record describes what was added, removed, or modified in the document. Analysis reflects what the updated agreement states or permits. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
When you use the AI support assistant to get help, Threads now explicitly tells you that what you say to the AI will be analyzed to improve Meta's AI models, not just to help you with your issue.
Threads has added explicit language disclosing that interactions with its AI support assistant will be used to improve Meta's AI systems. This disclosure may be relevant to data processing frameworks under GDPR, CCPA, and similar privacy regimes that require transparency about secondary uses of personal data. Organizations operating under data protection agreements with Meta may wish to confirm whether this disclosure affects existing privacy notices or DPA schedules, though the change itself appears limited to policy transparency rather than a new or expanded practice.
