The Associated Press Privacy Policy changes — dated 2025-11-05 (NOTED)

What changed, in plain language

The only changes are to obfuscated email links in the privacy policy — the encoded contact address strings were rotated. No privacy practices, rights, or terms changed.

This change appears to be cosmetic (formatting, typos, or contact details).

Changelog

± CHANGEDContact email link code changed (top of policy)
The scrambled link code behind the 'contact us' email at the top of the policy was regenerated. This is an anti-spam encoding that the site changes automatically; the email address itself and what it's for are unchanged.
