Nothing was added. This most likely means the archived page now covers a narrower document or these terms moved elsewhere, not that the rules for creators were repealed. https://tos.linkflow.be/changes/19ae71dec32a/https://tos.linkflow.be/changes/19ae71dec32a/ Mon, 09 Nov 2026 00:00:00 +0000notableAccounts Centre is being renamed Meta Account, with WhatsApp added only optionally.

It adds a section on researcher access to platform data, which in some cases may include Personal Information. It also names more legal orders that can lead to sharing (e.g. European Production Orders), and keeps a parent's email for 7 days instead of 24 hours if account linking isn't completed. It adds some parental-rights and Global Privacy Control wording as well. Taken from you: Uploaded camera/photo/video content may now be kept for AI training and product improvement, not just the feature's purpose; Parent emails are kept 7 days instead of 24 hours if linking is not completed; Personal Information may be shared with researchers where legally required; Legal-order sharing now names specific instruments, such as European Production/Preservation Orders and Brazilian Marco Civil orders.

Storage and accessibility API wording was rewritten, with an explicit ban on using the Accessibility API to bypass security, record call audio or power autonomous agents.

Apps targeting Android 17 must use the location button for one-time location requests, and using precise location requires a Play Console declaration. Broad contacts access, the Manage Contacts permission and the new Local Network permission are restricted to core functionality. Storage access now requires a declaration. Accessibility API rules and the ban on evading Play review were largely restated rather than new, and a new AppFunctions rule bars deceiving AI agents. Taken from you: Developers must file Play Console declarations to use precise location, the local network permission and all-files storage access.; Developers must ensure their AppFunctions do not deceive or manipulate AI agents, bypass security controls, or interfere with other apps. https://tos.linkflow.be/changes/556a5280a32f/https://tos.linkflow.be/changes/556a5280a32f/ Fri, 30 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000notableThe page now covers www.xnxx.gold, operated by Bridgemaze Partners, LLC, instead of www.xnxx.com run by NKL Associates. This looks like a different, paid service. The new text adds a Premium Content clause requiring an account and a fee, and the opening plain-language summary is gone. The diff cuts off partway through section 6, so it cannot show whether the EU Digital Services Act, arbitration and liability sections were kept or dropped. Taken from you: Legal counterparty changed from NKL Associates to Bridgemaze Partners, LLC; Premium Content now requires an account and a fee; Your liability for unauthorized account use now ends once you notify the operator by email; the old text set no end point.; Separate privacy notice for users without an account is no longer referenced https://tos.linkflow.be/changes/935857706066/https://tos.linkflow.be/changes/935857706066/ Thu, 29 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000minorThe old EU Privacy Policy page included the full text of the EU Standard Contractual Clauses for transferring personal data to third countries, covering instructions, security, onward transfers, sub-processors, data subject rights, liability and governing law.

The previous flat statement that personalized ads are not based on Drive, Gmail or Photos content now has an exception: if you make that data available to other Google services that support personalized ads. An example describes Search using hotel booking details from an email. Taken from you: Unconditional promise that ads are not personalized from Drive, Gmail or Photos content now applies only unless you share that data with other services; Ads can be based on personalized content from Google services, not just interests and activity; Gemini Apps, as well as Search, can now be allowed to access your Photos, Gmail and Drive data to personalize your experience, including ads. https://tos.linkflow.be/changes/58f7056fded9/https://tos.linkflow.be/changes/58f7056fded9/ Sat, 17 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000notableAI trainingThe policy now says you may choose to let services like Search or Gemini Apps access data from other Google services such as Photos, Gmail and Drive for personalization.

The legal-basis table adds wording on disclosing limited data to law enforcement to prevent, detect or investigate crimes, and on disclosing data to law enforcement to prevent an imminent threat to life. Regulator/researcher sharing and age verification were already in the old text, so those parts are not new. Taken from you: Signed-out ad and search personalization may now draw on your activity across devices, not just one browser or device; The legal-basis table now explicitly mentions disclosing limited data to law enforcement to prevent, detect or investigate crimes, and disclosing data to law enforcement to prevent an imminent threat to life. https://tos.linkflow.be/changes/519b0088eb08/https://tos.linkflow.be/changes/519b0088eb08/ Mon, 12 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000minorThe EU-copy privacy policy now includes an 'Additional Information for Brazilian Users' section naming Reddit, Inc. as controller and listing LGPD rights, international transfer safeguards and a DPO contact.

Creators who have no age-restricted content can publish to age-checked 16+ users by answering only the first questionnaire question. Games with free-form user creation are now limited to age-checked users 16+. Social hangouts without private spaces move from the 18+ Restricted tier to the 16+ tier, which is a loosening. Inaccurate maturity information now exposes a game and account to moderation without the old 'repeatedly' qualifier.

The signed-out personalisation sentence now says it can draw on activity across devices.

The effective-date line was also removed, which is not substantive. Taken from you: Ad and search personalisation is now described as using your activity across devices, not just the current browser https://tos.linkflow.be/changes/0e2fd4920faf/https://tos.linkflow.be/changes/0e2fd4920faf/ Fri, 02 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000notableThe advertising controls section now says that removing or disabling cookies in your browser does not stop Google from using cookie-based information or other advertising technologies to personalize ads, unless you turn off personalized ads in ad settings. The retargeting explanation also now says Google may use other identifiers, such as your IP address or information you previously shared with a website, not just cookies. Taken from you: Clearing or blocking cookies no longer stops personalized ads; only the ads setting does; Retargeting ads may now use identifiers beyond cookies, such as IP address or info shared with a website https://tos.linkflow.be/changes/b18a77322e0e/https://tos.linkflow.be/changes/b18a77322e0e/ Fri, 02 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000notableThe ad-controls section now says that removing or disabling cookies in your browser does not stop Google from using cookie-based information or other advertising technologies to personalize ads; you must change ad settings.

Texas courts, Texas law and the class action waiver were already in the old version.
