Privacy Policy Change History
Video content delivery infrastructure updated
Updated August 2026
The URLs for embedded policy explanation videos have been updated to use a different content delivery network (phx1-1 instead of lga3-2), which is a technical infrastructure change. This does not materially affect user privacy but reflects backend server location changes.
Key Changes:
- Video URLs changed from video-lga3-2.xx.fbcdn.net to video-phx1-1.xx.fbcdn.net
- Affects both 'What information do we collect' and 'How do we use your information' video embeds
- Purely technical CDN change with no privacy impact
New United States Regional Privacy Notice section added to navigation
Updated July 2026
A new navigation link titled 'Privacy notice for United States residents' has been added to the policy table of contents, pointing to section 12. Additionally, a direct reference to the United States Regional Privacy Notice has been added at the beginning of the policy with a link to detailed information about Personal Information handling and rights exercise for US residents.
Key Changes:
- New section 12 'Privacy notice for United States residents' added to TOC
- Prominent link to separate US Regional Privacy Notice added in policy introduction
- Link directs to dedicated USO privacy policy for US-specific rights and procedures
Removal of US Regional Privacy Notice link from main policy
Updated July 2026
The NEW version removes the direct link to the 'United States Regional Privacy Notice' that was prominently displayed in the PREVIOUS version. This notice previously provided US residents with specific details about handling Personal Information and exercising rights. The removal of this prominent reference may make it less obvious for US users to find their region-specific privacy protections.
Key Changes:
- PREVIOUS version included: 'Read the [United States Regional Privacy Notice](https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policies/uso/) for more details about how we handle Personal Information and how to exercise your rights.'
- NEW version completely removes this section
- US residents must now navigate separately to find region-specific privacy rights
Removal of Privacy notice link from table of contents
Updated July 2026
The table of contents in the policy navigation menu no longer includes the link to '[Privacy notice for United States residents](/policy/?section_id=12-PrivacyNoticeForUnitedStates)' that was present in the PREVIOUS version. This reduces direct accessibility to US-specific privacy information from the main policy outline.
Key Changes:
- PREVIOUS version included section link: '[Privacy notice for United States residents](/policy/?section_id=12-PrivacyNoticeForUnitedStates)'
- NEW version removed this navigation link entirely
- Users must now search or navigate outside the policy structure to find US-specific notices
