DATED 2026-06-19 · VERSION 20260816_rev01 · COMPARED WITH 20260815_rev01

What changed, in plain language

Nothing meaningful changed. The only edits are to WebMD's scrambled email links for its Data Protection Officer — the website's spam-protection code re-encoded the same address. Your rights and WebMD's practices are exactly the same as before.

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

Changelog

  1. ± CHANGEDData Protection Officer email link re-encoded (EU rights section)

    The link behind the Data Protection Officer's email address changed. WebMD hides email addresses with a scrambling code so spam bots can't read them, and that code was regenerated. The address itself and the rights described around it are unchanged.

  2. ± CHANGEDData Protection Officer email link re-encoded (contact section)

    Same kind of change in the section telling EEA users how to reach the Data Protection Officer. Only the scrambled version of the address changed, not the address or the instructions.
