The updated Privacy Policy no longer explicitly directs US residents to the United States Regional Privacy Notice, which previously provided details about consumer privacy rights available under state laws like the California Consumer Privacy Act and similar regulations. This removal does not eliminate those rights themselves, but it makes the Privacy Policy less clear about where consumers can find information on how to exercise those rights. Consumers can still locate the Regional Privacy Notice through Meta's website or by searching for it directly, but the removal reduces the accessibility and prominence of that guidance within the primary policy document.

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Data portability rights are governed by GDPR Art. 20 (right to data portability in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format), Art. 15 (right of access), and Art. 16 (right to rectification), enforced by EU/EEA DPAs. CCPA/CPRA §1798.100 grants California residents the right to know and access personal information, and §1798.110 requires disclosure of specific data categories. The EU Digital Markets Act (DMA) Art. 6(9) imposes additional portability obligations on Meta as a designated gatekeeper.
