What changed, in plain language

Nothing changed in this update except two obfuscated email links for WebMD's Data Protection Officer. The visible email address stays the same; only the scrambled code behind the link was refreshed, which is normal for spam-protection tools. No rights, data practices, or policy terms were affected.

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

Changelog

  1. ± CHANGEDData Protection Officer email link code refreshed (EU rights section)

    The hidden code used to scramble the Data Protection Officer's email address was regenerated. The email itself and how you contact them did not change.
