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.

What this means for you

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.

This change record describes what was added, removed, or modified in the document. Analysis reflects what the updated agreement states or permits. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
