The data use is not confined to Threads alone but extends to other Meta Products, and the governing purposes are defined by the broader Meta Privacy Policy rather than solely by Threads' own policy.
Interpretive note: The excerpt references 'seamless personalization' in parentheses, which was not made the primary claim; it is noted in omitted_material.
The updated policy no longer explicitly discloses that user interactions with AI systems will be used to improve Meta's AI, nor does it describe how data is shared or collected in specific detail. Previously, the policy offered a 24/7 AI support assistant and clear pathways to manage or delete account data; these references are now absent. The removal of these disclosures does not necessarily mean the practices have stopped, but users no longer have explicit written confirmation of these features or data uses within the published policy.
View change record →The updated policy establishes that interactions with the Meta AI support assistant available through Threads will be used to improve AI models at Meta, not solely to resolve customer issues. Previously, the policy did not explicitly disclose this use of support interactions. The revised terms also reorganize help and support navigation without materially changing access to account controls. You can review the updated privacy policy and decline to use the AI support assistant if you prefer not to have those interactions used for AI model improvement.
View change record →The updated privacy policy removes language stating that user interactions with AI will be used to improve Meta's AI systems, a disclosure that previously appeared in the policy footer. The revised language no longer explicitly describes this AI training use case in the same location. The policy now directs users to consult Meta's AI terms for information about AI services, rather than providing privacy-related guidance and FAQ content in the footer itself. You can access Meta's AI terms through the new footer link to understand how your interactions may be used.
View change record →Information collected on Threads may be used across Meta's product family, and the full scope of those uses is governed by the Meta Privacy Policy.
