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the archived page now covers a narrower document or these terms moved elsewhere, not that the rules for creators were repealed.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/187b3aa8d1e4/https://tos.linkflow.be/changes/187b3aa8d1e4/ Sun, 08 Nov 2026 00:00:00 +0000notableThe diff removes the detailed body of Snapchat's Consumer Health Data (CHD) policy.

The section's title, intro and effective date are not shown as removed, and nothing was added. The diff does not show whether practices changed or the content moved elsewhere. https://tos.linkflow.be/changes/590903458832/https://tos.linkflow.be/changes/590903458832/ Sat, 07 Nov 2026 00:00:00 +0000minorAI trainingThe old text said My AI chat content was kept until you delete it or your account.

The iOS no-tracking opt-out now allows linking data on-device or where technical privacy controls reduce identification risk. A new European Contextual Advertising section explains when only contextual ads are shown and adds Sponsored Snaps placement choices. Taken from you: Household members over 18 may now inform which ads you see; The iOS no-tracking opt-out exception now refers to linking where technical privacy controls significantly reduce the risk of identifying you, rather than where you are not specifically identified.; Wording on teen ad inferences changed from friends' interests to interests of other people associated with you https://tos.linkflow.be/changes/e0839bdc1dcb/https://tos.linkflow.be/changes/e0839bdc1dcb/ Wed, 05 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000notableAI trainingThe updated policy (effective September 21, 2026) adds wording that Snapchat may ask users to verify their age depending on region, and that automated tools may confirm age-appropriate use. It adds optional face grouping in Memories, which uses information about faces in saved photos. It also says friends may see your current or recent activity status if you allow it, and that information may be shared to verify ages for legal obligations. Taken from you: Snapchat may ask you to verify your age, depending on region, and now lists age estimation as a use of information you provide; If you enable face grouping, information about faces in your Memories may be used; Automated tools may also be used to confirm age-appropriate use, drawing on account, device, usage and content-related signals; Your current or recent activity status may be visible to friends if allowed; Age information may be used or shared to comply with legal obligations, including verifying user ages
