Privacy Policy

NOTED

DATED 2026-06-19 · VERSION 20260813_rev01 · COMPARED WITH 20260812_rev01

What changed, in plain language

Nothing changed in what WebMD does with your data. The only difference is behind-the-scenes code in two "email protection" links used to hide the Data Protection Officer's address from spam bots. The visible text, contact options, and all privacy rights are exactly the same.

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

Changelog

± CHANGEDScrambled code in Data Protection Officer email links refreshed
WebMD hides its Data Protection Officer email address behind a scrambling system so spam bots can't harvest it. That scrambled code was regenerated in two places (the EU residents section and the contact section). The email address you actually reach is unchanged, and so is everything else on the page.
