FIRST SEEN 2026-09-02 · VERSION 20260902_rev01 · COMPARED WITH 20260901_rev01

What changed, in plain language

Nothing in DreamHost's privacy policy actually changed. The only difference is the scrambled code inside the link for their marketing opt-out email address — this is an anti-spam obfuscation token that the site regenerates automatically, and it still points to the same contact address.

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

Changelog

± CHANGEDOpt-out email link code regenerated (no real change)
The email address for opting out of business marketing mail is hidden behind a scrambled code so spam bots can't read it. That code was regenerated, so the link text looks different. The address it leads to, and everything the policy says, is unchanged.
