Version History

• May 5, 2026 v1 low
  Meta updated its privacy policy on May 5, 2026 with primarily editorial and formatting changes. The company changed terminology from 'Privacy Center' to 'Privacy Centre', updated phrasing like 'our Products' to 'our products', and rewrote some sentences for clarity (for example, 'How long do we keep your information?' became 'How long do we keep your information for?'). These appear to be style, localization, and grammatical refinements rather than substantive changes to how Meta collects, uses, or shares your data.

• April 21, 2026 v1 medium
  Meta removed a reference to the United States Regional Privacy Notice from its Privacy Policy on April 21, 2026, streamlining the header section. The policy no longer explicitly directs US residents to that separate document for details about their consumer privacy rights. This makes the primary Privacy Policy less clear about where to find information on exercising rights under US state privacy laws.

• April 19, 2026 v1 low
  Meta Ads restructured their privacy policy on April 19, 2026 by adding 219 new sentences and reorganizing the document with a clearer table of contents. The policy now includes distinct sections explaining what information Meta collects, how it uses that information, how it shares data with partners and third parties, how Meta companies work together, how users can manage their data and rights, data retention practices, information transfers, and responses to legal requests. This reorganization makes the privacy policy's structure more transparent and navigable for users seeking specific information about their data.

  Meta Ads updated its Privacy Policy on April 18, 2026 by adding nine new section headings that organize how it collects, uses, shares, and manages user data. The policy previously contained only a basic cover statement; it now includes dedicated sections explaining data collection methods, use cases, sharing practices with partners and third parties, Meta Companies' coordination, user rights and deletion options, data retention periods, cross-border transfers, and legal compliance procedures. This restructuring makes the policy more granular and navigable but does not necessarily indicate changes to Meta's underlying data practices.

  Meta updated the title of its privacy policy on March 11, 2026, changing an en dash to a hyphen in the document header. The substantive content and disclosures about how Meta collects and uses user data remain unchanged. This is a formatting adjustment with no material impact on what the policy permits, restricts, or requires.
