Threads added four new section headers to their privacy policy on July 5, 2026: 'How is my information shared?', 'How do I delete my Threads profile?', 'What happens to my public information?', and 'I have a different question'. The policy also added a requirement stating 'By using this service, you agree to Meta's AI terms' and added a reference to 'Chat with Meta AI support assistant' and related help topics. These changes appear to be organizational additions to the policy structure and new disclosures about AI terms applicability, but the diff does not provide the actual content of these new sections.
Consumers: When you use Threads, you must accept Meta's separate AI terms in addition to the Threads privacy policy.
The updated privacy policy now explicitly requires users to agree to Meta's AI terms as a condition of using Threads.
