AI startup Manus said on Tuesday it will resume operating as an independent company and some user data will be deleted as part of ‌its separation ⁠from ⁠U.S. tech giant Meta.

“As part of our transition back to independent operations and to comply with regulatory requirements in specific jurisdictions, data generated by certain users on/after December 29, ⁠2025” will ‌be deleted later this month, Manus said in a statement.

⁠Affected users will be notified through ​the Manus app and by ​email and will be able to back up their data, the company said.
