Privacy Policy

NOTED

FIRST SEEN 2026-08-13 · VERSION 20260813_rev01 · COMPARED WITH 20260812_rev01

What changed, in plain language

Nothing about DreamHost's privacy practices changed. The only difference is a scrambled contact-email link in the business marketing opt-out section, which now uses a different scramble code but still points to the same address (PrivacyPolicy@DreamHost.com). This is a technical artifact of how the site hides emails from spam bots.

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

Changelog

± CHANGEDOpt-out email link re-scrambled (same address)
In the section about business contact info used for postal marketing, the spam-protected link for the opt-out email was regenerated with a new code. Decoded, it still leads to the same privacy contact address. No wording, rights, or practices changed.
