The change detected in Target's privacy policy document appears to be a removal of a prehydration script element (`<script id="beacon-prehydration">`) that was present in the before version but absent in the after version. This is a technical, non-material modification to the HTML structure serving the privacy policy page, not a substantive change to Target's privacy practices or disclosures. No change to the actual privacy policy content, terms, data collection practices, or user rights appears to have occurred.
This change is a technical modification to how Target's privacy policy page is served and does not alter the substantive privacy policy itself. The removed script was a performance optimization tool unrelated to data collection, processing, or user privacy rights. No changes to how Target collects, uses, shares, or protects customer information have been implemented.
