Modal's Privacy Policy page header was updated in an update detected on July 28, 2026. The change modified banner text from referring to 'Modal Inkling by Thinking Machines' to 'Kimi K3 is live' and added a promotional line about a 'Shared API with token-based pricing'. The underlying privacy policy statement itself (last updated May 17th, 2023) remains unchanged. This appears to be a product marketing update to the policy landing page rather than a substantive change to privacy practices or data handling.
This change does not materially affect consumer privacy rights or data handling practices. The updated landing page promotes Modal's Kimi K3 product and Shared API offering, but the substantive privacy policy itself (last updated May 17, 2023) remains in effect. Users' privacy protections, data collection practices, and rights under the policy are unchanged.
