Snapchat UK privacy policy drops sections on Snap Map, location, Spectacles, Snap Kit and Cameos

Fresh · under two weeks✓ Machine-checked

The new version removes the sections describing Snap Kit, Spectacles, account data access, Scan, Snap Map, Location and Cameos. These sections explained how location is collected and stored, how public Snaps appear on the Map, and how selfies are used in Cameos. The diff shows only removals, with nothing added, so this may be a restructuring or a partial capture rather than a change in practice.
