Microsoft's Privacy Statement table of contents was reorganized on June 28, 2026. Several product and feature references were relocated or renamed within the document structure: 'Microsoft Family' became 'Microsoft Family Safety', 'Phone Link - Link to Windows' became 'Linked Mobile Experiences on Windows', and several other entries were repositioned. The substantive privacy disclosures and policies themselves remain unchanged; this appears to be a reorganization of how products and features are presented in the navigation structure.
