How Version History Works

Version Numbering: We use semantic versioning (Major.Minor). Major changes = new version number (e.g., 1.0 → 2.0). Minor changes = decimal increment (e.g., 1.0 → 1.1).
Effective Dates: Each version lists its effective date. When we update our privacy policy, we give you time to review the changes before they take effect.
Transparency: This page tracks all versions of our privacy policy so you can see what changed and when. We're committed to being transparent about how we handle your data.
Updates: When we make changes to our privacy policy, we update the "Last Updated" date on the main privacy policy page and add the details here.
