Meta privacy policy (EU) adds AI action/feedback, app-download device info and adequacy list
The EU privacy policy now lists actions you ask Meta's AI to take and feedback you give on its responses as collected information. It also adds basic device information (model, OS) for devices that downloaded the apps, and names the countries covered by EU adequacy decisions for data transfers. It says cleared searches are deleted. Address-book uploads, sharing content with AI, public datasets and law-enforcement sharing for imminent harm were already covered in the old text. Much of the rest is added examples and links.
