Cross-company data sharing enables Meta to consolidate user information across its product portfolio, allowing consistent service delivery and coordinated data practices across its subsidiary platforms. This establishes a unified data governance model across the Meta corporate group rather than product-specific information handling.
Interpretive note: The document was truncated and the full text of this provision could not be verified verbatim; excerpt is based on standard Meta Privacy Policy language associated with this policy URL.
The updated policy narrows the terms users explicitly agree to by using the service from a three-part agreement (Meta Terms, AI terms, and Privacy Policy) to AI terms only. The policy now explicitly discloses that interactions with AIs will be used to improve AI at Meta. This means continued use of the service constitutes acceptance of this narrower agreement scope and explicit participation in AI training data use. You should review Meta's AI terms directly to understand what they cover and what controls, if any, are available.
View change record →The updated policy now requires users to agree to Meta's AI terms as a condition of using the service, whereas this requirement was not previously stated in the privacy policy. The policy explicitly discloses that interactions with AI features will be used to improve Meta's AI systems. This means user activity with Meta's AI assistant is now designated for AI training and improvement purposes. You can review Meta's separate AI terms document to understand what data practices apply to AI interactions.
View change record →The updated policy no longer explicitly states that 'by using this service, you agree to Meta's AI terms' or that 'your interactions with AIs will be used to improve AI at Meta.' These removals mean users no longer encounter direct language connecting their use of Threads to AI training and improvement. The policy also removed a section header asking 'How is my data shared?' and eliminated direct navigational links to profile deletion and privacy settings management, making these options less discoverable within the help documentation.
View change record →Users operating under these terms authorize personal information collected through Threads to be accessed and used by other Meta Companies in their respective services. The scope of data sharing depends on the user's engagement with other Meta products within the corporate group.
