FIRST SEEN 2026-09-06 · VERSION 20260906_rev01 · COMPARED WITH 20260905_rev01

What changed, in plain language

Nothing about your rights or the company's practices changed. The only difference is a scrambled code behind the "[email protected]" link in the contact table — Britannica's website scrambles the email address to hide it from spam bots, and that scrambling code is regenerated each time the page loads. The email address itself is still dpo@eb.com.

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

Changelog

  1. ± CHANGEDSpam-protection code behind the contact email changed

    The contact section hides the email address using a scrambling trick that stops spam bots from reading it. That scrambled code was regenerated, but it still points to the same address, dpo@eb.com. No wording in the policy changed.
