Shein's privacy policy was updated on May 5, 2026, but the detected change appears to be a minor formatting or navigation edit rather than a substantive privacy policy modification. The change involved rewording navigational text in the Return Policy section, removing the word 'dresses' from a navigation instruction. This does not materially affect what data Shein collects, how it uses your information, or your privacy rights.
