Patreon's privacy policy HTML was updated on April 3, 2026. A single sentence containing a hyperlink was removed from the page. The removed link pointed to a Transcend privacy center resource. This appears to be a technical or formatting change to the page structure rather than a substantive change to privacy rights or data handling practices.
This change removes a hyperlink from the HTML structure of Patreon's privacy policy page but does not modify the actual privacy practices, data handling, or user rights described in the policy text itself. The removed link appears to have been a technical reference to Transcend's privacy center infrastructure. No action is required in response to this change.
Although this change is technical and non-substantive, it illustrates how privacy policy pages can be modified without changing underlying data practices. Users should continue to review the full policy text when making decisions about using the platform.
