Change Summary
Medium removed a subscription call-to-action from its privacy policy and replaced it with an explanation of the legitimate interests basis for a feature that helps users connect with people they know. The removed language included 'Subscribe', 'Remember me for faster sign in', and originally accompanied the same legitimate interests justification. The updated policy now leads with the legitimate interests rationale without the subscription prompt.
