Supplemental Meta Platforms Technologies Privacy Policy
Effective October 12, 2026
This Supplemental Privacy Policy supplements the Meta Privacy Policy and applies to your and your child's use of a Meta account and access to Meta Platforms Technologies Products.
If you are a parent or guardian of a child between the ages of 10 and 12 (age may vary by region) and wish to create a Meta account for your child, please review the Parent Privacy Disclosure that describes how Meta collects, uses and discloses your child's personal information. After you've created a Meta account for your child, we will collect, use and disclose your child's information much like any other Meta account. This Supplemental Privacy Policy applies in full to both adults and children. To the extent that there are privacy practices specific to your child's Meta account, those differences are outlined in the Children's privacy highlight at the top of each relevant section of this Supplemental Privacy Policy. Note that the Meta Privacy Policy does not apply to the processing of your child's personal information.
Meta offers a variety of hardware and software products and services related to or in connection with those products as part of Meta Platforms Technologies. The hardware, services, features, apps, technologies and software products described in the Supplemental Meta Platforms Technologies Terms of Service, and subject to this policy, include Meta VR Products, Meta Wearable Products and other Meta Platforms Technologies Products listed here, any of which may be updated from time to time (collectively, "MPT Products").
We encourage you to read our Meta Privacy Policy and this Supplemental Meta Platforms Technologies Privacy Policy ("Supplemental Privacy Policy") because we want you to understand what information we collect and how we use and share it.
In the Meta Privacy Policy, we describe the information that we process to support Meta Products. This Supplemental Privacy Policy adds to the Meta Privacy Policy by explaining the additional information that we process to support MPT Products and by providing more details about how we process that information. Below, you will find an overview of the ways in which we collect, use and share information.
