Legal Notice
NOTEDWhat changed, in plain language
Nothing about your rights changed. The only edits were to two scrambled email-address links, which were re-encoded but still point to the same contact addresses. The document's own "Updated" date is unchanged (19 February 2026).
This change appears to be cosmetic (formatting, typos, or contact details).
Changelog
- ± CHANGEDAccessibility contact link re-encoded
