Legal Notice
NOTEDWhat changed, in plain language
Only the obfuscated email-protection links changed. The two contact links were re-encoded (Cloudflare email protection rotates these codes), so the underlying addresses and every term in the notice stay the same. No rights, rules, or obligations were touched.
This change appears to be cosmetic (formatting, typos, or contact details).
Changelog
- ± CHANGEDAccessibility contact link re-encoded
The scrambled link behind the accessibility contact email was replaced with a new scrambled version. This is just how the site hides email addresses from spam bots — the address you reach is unchanged.
