Privacy Policy
NOTEDFIRST SEEN 2026-09-01 · VERSION 20260901_rev01 · COMPARED WITH 20260829_rev01
What changed, in plain language
The only change is housekeeping: Automattic deleted one line from the policy's change log — a note about an August 28, 2026 typo fix ("services includes" -> "services include"). No actual privacy terms were added, removed, or reworded. What the company collects, shares, and keeps stays exactly the same.
This change appears to be cosmetic (formatting, typos, or contact details).
Changelog
