I have trouble understanding this sentence "It tweaked its privacy policy."

I get the meaning "It changed its privacy policy."

But is it possible to think as "It cunningly used its privacy policy to do something."

Yes, that's a possibility.

It could be an improvement or simplification, but it could also be something a bit more devious.
