This page tracks Meta's unified Privacy Policy as scraped from Instagram's context. It's confirmed to be the same underlying document as Facebook_Privacy_Policy.md: the 2022-12-16 baseline opening paragraph ("Our measurement and analytics services help our Partners understand things like...") is byte-identical between the two pages. Across 51 scrapes spanning 2022-12-16 to 2026-02-25, this dataset holds 342 unique snippets, with genuine new content concentrated on just 18 of the 51 dates — the rest are exact-duplicate re-scrapes.

Instagram – Privacy Policy

Dataset: PGAv2 (Platform Governance Archive v2) — 25 platforms, 2022–2026

PGAv2 (Platform Governance Archive v2) is this wiki’s legacy dataset: pre-tagged JSONL records covering 25 major social-media, messaging, and content-sharing platforms, with risk scores and keywords assigned via systematic extraction of 1,736 high-risk clauses from each platform’s Terms of Service, Privacy Policies, and Community Guidelines, spanning 2022–2026.

Note: This page contains documented policy clauses. Risk assessment is qualitative and context-dependent. For analysis of patterns across platforms, see:

Overview

This page tracks Meta’s unified Privacy Policy as scraped from Instagram’s context. It’s confirmed to be the same underlying document as Facebook_Privacy_Policy.md: the 2022-12-16 baseline opening paragraph (“Our measurement and analytics services help our Partners understand things like…”) is byte-identical between the two pages. Across 51 scrapes spanning 2022-12-16 to 2026-02-25, this dataset holds 342 unique snippets, with genuine new content concentrated on just 18 of the 51 dates — the rest are exact-duplicate re-scrapes.

Methodology note: unlike Facebook_Privacy_Policy.md, this Instagram-context dataset does not show the rotating CDN-image-link-signature artifact — verified: zero of the 342 unique snippets contain a Facebook CDN signed-URL pattern. So no normalization was needed here: every one of the 342 unique snippets reflects genuinely distinct text, and the 18 first-appearance dates above are exact results, not normalized ones.

Major finding — two single-day batches account for most of this file’s content: 2025-06-16 (56 new paragraphs) and especially 2025-06-25 (213 new paragraphs) together make up 269 of the 342 unique snippets (79%). The 2025-06-25 batch spans a wide range of the policy — special-category data definitions, content-sharing disclosures, and, for most of it, an extensive “artificial intelligence” section covering uses like “to offer artificial intelligence technology to third parties, including developers and researchers” and “to develop and improve artificial intelligence technology while ensuring appropriate safeguards, such as improving model responses for safety and accuracy.” Given the scale of this single-day capture, this Overview describes the verified major themes rather than narrating each of the 213 paragraphs — every quote is still checked byte-for-byte against the source JSONL, with zero duplicates.

Baseline AI/ML disclosures (2022-12-16), confirmed identical to Facebook’s Privacy Policy: AI/ML research-funding support, content-moderation classifier training (“reviewers’ work supplements our technology that detects violations”), and, under the train AI/models tag, object/activity-recognition training on user media.

Flagged Keywords & Risks

• artificial intelligence, machine learning — The largest tag set by far (240+ unique snippets), concentrated in the 2025-06-25 batch. Why it matters: this mirrors the finding on Facebook_Privacy_Policy.md — AI-training disclosures are extensive but scattered across dozens of separate paragraphs rather than one clause you could point to.
• train AI/models — Present from the baseline version: content-moderation classifier training and object/activity-recognition training on user media, matching the pattern already confirmed on Facebook_Privacy_Policy.md.
• generative AI — Present from 2025-04-07 onward: a detailed “AI at Meta” disclosure that names the specific product, states its legal basis (legitimate interests), lists the exact data categories used (public posts/comments from users 18+, plus AI-feature interactions), and offers a concrete opt-out mechanism with email confirmation. This is more detailed than the brief “messages may be shared with these companies” wording on Facebook_Privacy_Policy.md.
• improve services — Broad, catch-all language justifying measurement and analytics use. Same low-specificity risk profile as Facebook’s Privacy Policy.
• scrape — Only 3 unique snippets, all confirmed: “if we see someone without an account trying to load too many pages, they could be trying to [scrape] our site in violation of our terms. Then we can take action to prevent it.” Why it matters: same framing as Facebook’s Privacy Policy — this is Meta describing its own scraping-detection and security measures, not a rule aimed at users.

Legal Context & Research Significance

The 2025-06-25 batch’s disclosure that Meta uses Instagram data “to develop and improve artificial intelligence technology” and “to offer artificial intelligence technology to third parties, including developers and researchers” places these flagged clauses in wearetosed’s “tracking & profiling” category, since the same baseline content-moderation and object/activity-recognition training documented on Facebook’s Privacy Policy is confirmed here as well, and the third-party-offering language adds a “data sharing & selling” dimension on top. Javed and Sajid (2024) find that social media is one of the sectors most frequently studied in the 202-paper privacy-policy literature they reviewed, yet this page’s own finding — that 213 of 342 unique snippets arrived in a single 2025-06-25 capture — illustrates the scale problem that literature grapples with: exhaustive manual analysis of every paragraph in a modern AI-disclosure-heavy privacy policy is no longer practical, which is part of why 42.57% of studies in their review turned to automated NLP extraction instead. Soneji et al. (2025)‘s finding that over 72% of surveyed ToS;DR cases were rated highly understandable, despite users still disagreeing on severity, is also relevant: the generative AI clause’s detailed, named opt-out mechanism is comparatively legible text, but whether users judge that opt-out as adequately protective is a separate, contested question their severity-rating data speaks to.

Also, if we see someone without an account trying to load too many pages, they could be trying to scrape our site in violation of our terms. Then we can take action to prevent it. ### Safety and integrity For example, if someone without an account joins a room and shares a harmful video, we can take action according to our Community Standards. We can remove content that violates our terms and policies, or share information with law enforcement when we believe there is a genuine risk of death or imminent bodily harm. ### Performance For example, we collect information when people use our Products, even if they don’t have an account, to measure how fast our pages load in different countries and whether they’re working properly.

Clause: train AI/models

For example, reviewers can look for and remove content that violates our terms and policies and keep content that doesn’t break our terms and policies available. Their work supplements our technology that detects violations. * When our algorithms detect that someone might need help, a reviewer can review their post and offer support if needed. * We also use manual review to analyze content to train our algorithms to review content the same way a person would. This improves our automatic processing, which in turn helps us improve our products. ### Who reviews this information Our reviewers work at Meta, for Meta Companies or for a trusted service provider[47]. We require every reviewer who’s allowed access to your information to meet privacy and security standards. Learn more about how Meta prioritizes content for manual review. 33 What Products does this policy cover?

This technology is used to help us offer new products or features in the future. ### Understanding how people use our products We count the number of unique users, monthly active users and daily active users on our products. This information helps us understand the community using our products and publicly share important trends about how our products are used. 69 Supplemental policies --------------------- Return to top What is our legal basis for processing your information, and what are your rights?

Examples of why we collect and receive information -------------------------------------------------- ### Security of our Products For example, we collect information to monitor attempted attacks on our systems, such as overloading our servers with traffic. Also, if we see someone without an account trying to load too many pages, they could be trying to scrape our site in violation of our terms. Then we can take action to prevent it. ### Safety and integrity For example, if someone without an account joins a room and shares a harmful video, we can take action according to our Community Standards. We can remove content that violates our terms and policies, or share information with law enforcement when we believe there is a genuine risk of death or imminent bodily harm. ### Performance For example, we collect information when people use our Products, even if they don’t have an account, to measure how fast our pages load in different countries and whether they’re working properly.
