Event Summary

Modal's Privacy Policy header was modified in an update detected on July 16, 2026. The change adds a promotional reference to 'Inkling by Thinking Machines' in the policy's navigation area, alongside an existing 'Learn more' link.

LOW

Consumer Impact

This change has no material impact on consumer privacy rights or obligations. The updated language adds a promotional reference to a Modal product in the policy's header navigation, but the operative privacy policy text and its effective date remain unchanged. The terms governing data collection, use, and consumer rights stated in the policy continue to apply as previously written.

Governance Analysis

This change has no operational significance to privacy rights or obligations. The modification is purely editorial and promotional, affecting only the policy's navigation header while leaving all substantive privacy terms and their May 2023 effective date intact.
