Instagram, the photo-sharing service that Facebook bought out this year, has announced changes to its Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
The company said today in a blog update that the changes will go into effect on January 16, and will in no way change how it handles photo ownership or who is able to see a user's pictures. However, the updated privacy policy will allow Instagram to share user information with its corporate overlord, Facebook.
"This means we can do things like fight spam more effectively, detect system and reliability problems more quickly, and build better features for everyone by understanding how Instagram is used," Instagram wrote today on its blog.
