Impact Summary

Threads removed a section of navigational links from its privacy policy footer on June 25, 2026. The revised policy no longer displays the repeated link cluster including 'Related Articles', 'About Threads Privacy and visibility on Threads', 'Your Threads settings', 'Threads Policies and Terms', 'Review and export your Threads information', and 'Threads and the fediverse'. The footer now contains only 'Other ways to get help', support options, and basic company links, reducing the number of privacy-related navigation references available on the policy page.

What this means for you

This change removes navigational shortcuts from the privacy policy page itself. The actual privacy settings, data export tools, and related policy documents remain available through the main Threads interface and settings menus; this change only affects how users navigate to those features from the privacy policy page footer. The underlying privacy rights, data collection practices, and user controls described in the policy itself are unaffected.

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
