United States Regional Privacy Notice

Effective July 1, 2024
This United States Regional Privacy Notice (" Notice") is for people living in the United States and supplements the Wit.ai Privacy Policy. This Notice explains how we, Meta, collect, use, and disclose your Personal Information. It also describes how to exercise your rights under applicable U.S. privacy laws.
