This provision means that the data practices applicable to Threads users are governed by a two-document framework, and that the Threads Supplemental Privacy Policy provides additional detail rather than a complete standalone disclosure. Compliance and legal teams conducting data governance assessments must account for the full Meta Privacy Policy in addition to this supplemental document.
The updated policy removes FAQ sections that previously addressed how to deactivate or delete a profile, manage personal information, and share data with third parties. Additionally, the policy removes explicit language disclosing that 'Your interactions with AIs will be used to improve AI at Meta' and removes the direction to review Meta's AI terms. Users no longer have these FAQ resources in the policy document, though this change does not necessarily alter the underlying practices or rights; it only removes the documented guidance.
