Minecraft removed two navigation links from the footer of its Privacy Statement on May 5, 2026: the 'Consumer Health Privacy' link and the 'Your Privacy Choices' link. Both links previously appeared in the footer navigation section. The removal means these pages are no longer directly accessible from the privacy statement footer, though the underlying policies and rights they referenced may remain available elsewhere on Minecraft or Microsoft's websites.
