Meta updated its Privacy Policy effective July 23, 2026, with changes focused on clarification and formatting rather than substantive operational shifts. The document now explicitly references 'agentic AI capabilities' and 'Meta AI' in place of prior language, and adds a new subsection describing how Meta uses information to personalize AI features. Most changes are editorial: British English spellings (e.g., 'anonymised' to 'anonymized'), minor grammatical refinements ('the information that we collect' to 'the information we collect'), and terminology standardization ('Privacy Centre' to 'Privacy Center'). The policy continues to state that Meta does not sell user information and requires partners to follow data-handling rules, with no material expansion or contraction of disclosed data practices.
The updated Privacy Policy clarifies Meta's use of information to personalize AI experiences and describes 'agentic AI capabilities,' but does not materially expand data collection or introduce new uses beyond what the prior policy disclosed. The policy continues to state that Meta does not sell user information and requires partners to follow data-handling rules. The changes are primarily editorial and terminological, with no new obligations or restrictions imposed on users.
