October 2026: 919 change records withdrawn as artifacts of a superseded text extractor
On 8 and 9 October 2026 we withdrew 919 change records that had been first published between 18 April and 7 October 2026. They had been public for a median of 108 days (between 1 and 174).
Each recorded a difference between two captures of a page that lay in page furniture, not in the document: navigation menus, footers, page titles, language pickers, related-article lists, embedded page data, live counters and clocks. Our text extractor stopped reading these in two steps: navigation and footer stripping, deployed 10 September 2026 (890 of the 919 were first published before it), and extractor version 5, deployed 7 October 2026. Version 5 also drops page titles, video fallback text, menus built as select lists, link labels, loading placeholders and related-post lists, and folds invisible characters and typographic quotes. Re-extracted with version 5, the two captures behind each record contain the same text.
Each record has its own entry in this log, quoting what it described. Its page stays readable as a withdrawn record.

PayPal: change record CA-X-002400 recorded a difference our own extractor made
This record described a change to PayPal Privacy Statement observed on May 28, 2026. Re-extracted with the archive's current text extractor (version 5, deployed Oct 7, 2026), the two captures it compared contain the same text. What differed was page furniture or typographic variation that the current extractor no longer reads as part of the document, such as page titles, navigation, link labels and related-article lists. Under the current extractor this record would not have been created. It is withdrawn as an artifact of how we read the page, not as a finding about PayPal's document. Measured Oct 7, 2026.

PayPal's privacy policy was reorganized on May 28, 2026, with the table of contents restructured and footer navigation added. The substantive privacy disclosures remain unchanged from the prior version. This appears to be a formatting and navigation update with no material changes to PayPal's stated data practices or user rights.

Best Buy: change record CA-X-002011 described a change that did not happen
This record's summary described a change to Best Buy Privacy Policy on May 11, 2026 that the captured text does not show. What actually differed between the two captures: capture moved from a country selector to the policy page; not a publisher change. Read against the diff on Oct 6, 2026.
As published (withdrawn)
Best Buy restructured its privacy policy website on May 11, 2026, replacing a country-selection landing page with an expanded privacy resource hub. The updated page adds navigation menus, privacy education content, fraud-prevention resources, and links to privacy controls, while introducing a document effective date of 9/1/2024. The operational difference is that users now encounter a more detailed privacy information structure rather than a gateway to regional policy versions.
