Threads updated three section headings and one related label in its Supplemental Privacy Policy on June 18, 2026. The policy changed 'What information is collected?' to 'What information do you collect?', 'How is my data shared?' to 'How is my information shared?', and 'Manage my Threads data' to 'Manage my Threads information'. These are editorial revisions to question phrasing and label language with no substantive change to the underlying privacy practices, data handling procedures, or user rights described in the policy.
