What changed, in plain language

How reviews are made

Nothing changed in the actual privacy policy. The only difference is a scrambled code behind the contact email address, which Britannica's website regenerates automatically to hide the address from spam bots. The email is still dpo@eb.com and every rule about your data stayed the same.

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

Changelog

  1. ± CHANGEDContact email spam-protection code refreshed

    The website uses a spam-blocking tool that scrambles the email address in the page code. That scrambled string was regenerated, so the raw code looks different. The email you would actually write to is unchanged, and no words in the policy were added, removed, or reworded.
