The updated privacy policy now explicitly states that your interactions with AI will be used to improve AI at Meta, and requires agreement to Meta's AI terms as a condition of service use. The policy reorganizes privacy disclosures into new sections covering data use, sharing, and management. You can review the updated AI terms and privacy sections before continuing to use Threads, though the policy does not describe an opt-out mechanism for AI interaction data use.
