Instagram - Policy Change

moderateNeutralJun 15, 2026 → Jun 20, 2026Policy Change

Executive Summary

Instagram removed references and links to a separate 'United States Regional Privacy Notice' from its main Privacy Policy. The removed sections included mentions in the table of contents, an inline callout encouraging US users to read the regional notice for details on personal information handling and rights, and a dedicated section explaining consumer privacy rights available under US law. The core Privacy Policy content itself appears unchanged.
