Elsevier Privacy Policy
NOTEDWhat changed, in plain language
The only change is that the word "(bepress)" was dropped from two sentences describing the Digital Commons and SelectedWorks accounts. Nothing about what data Elsevier collects, shares, keeps, or how you can control it has changed.
This change appears to be cosmetic (formatting, typos, or contact details).
