Snapchat EU policy adds household ad signals and spells out contextual ads for teens
Snapchat may now use information from over-18 Snapchatters in your household to choose ads for you. The iOS no-tracking opt-out now allows linking on-device or with technical privacy controls, replacing the 'not specifically identify' wording. A new European contextual advertising section lists required contextual ads for teens and the signals used, and adds Sponsored Snap placement choices.
