This change affects only the website footer navigation structure. The label for the privacy statement link was simplified from 'Updated Privacy' to 'Privacy'. No substantive changes were made to the privacy policy itself, user rights, data handling practices, or consent mechanisms. Users can continue to access the privacy statement through the footer link as before.
