Shein's privacy policy was updated on April 23, 2026 with minor website interface changes. Two sentences were added to the shopping cart messaging to inform users that their cart items are saved and encouraging them to sign in, while one sentence related to a CAPTCHA verification process was removed. These are UI/messaging updates rather than substantive changes to how Shein collects, uses, or protects personal data.
This change updates the website's shopping cart interface and sign-in messaging rather than modifying Shein's data collection or privacy practices. Users will now see messaging that their cart items are saved when they return, encouraging them to sign in to view saved items. The removal of CAPTCHA language simplifies the authentication process. Neither change materially affects how your personal data is collected, used, or protected under Shein's privacy terms.
Added language informing users that cart items are saved and encouraging sign-in to retrieve them.
Removed sentence referencing CAPTCHA confirmation process from website interface.
