Change Summary
The detected change is not a substantive update to Reddit's privacy policy itself. Instead, it appears to be a technical modification to a security challenge page that precedes access to the privacy policy. The only difference between the before and after versions is a change to a cryptographic nonce value used for session verification. This is a routine security update with no bearing on the actual privacy terms users agree to.
