Privacy Policy

NOTED

DATED 2026-06-19 · VERSION 20260814_rev01 · COMPARED WITH 20260813_rev01

What changed, in plain language

Nothing meaningful changed in this update. The only differences are the scrambled codes behind WebMD's email-protection links for contacting their Data Protection Officer. Those codes get regenerated automatically each time the page is served, so the actual email address, your rights, and every other part of the policy stayed the same.

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

Changelog

± CHANGEDEmail-protection link codes regenerated
The two links used to reach WebMD's Data Protection Officer (one in the EU residents section, one in the contact section) now have different scrambled codes at the end of their web addresses. This is an automatic anti-spam feature that hides the email address from bots, and it produces a new code each time the page loads. The email address itself did not change.
