The clause operationalizes statutory data subject rights by confirming Threads' commitment to facilitate their exercise. This establishes the procedural framework through which users may request and obtain exercise of rights afforded under applicable privacy legislation.
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 may submit requests to access their stored data, correct inaccurate information, port data to other services, delete their data, restrict specific processing activities, or object to certain data uses. The availability of these mechanisms is mandated by regulation and confirmed through this policy language.
