### improved

## 2026-10-25 · Privacy requests & product updates

Two new places to keep track of the product and take control of your identifiers.

### new

- A dedicated Data removal form, free to use without an account. Requests are saved privately for manual ownership review.

## 2026-10-25 · A smoother first impression

Movement that follows the page, from the first search to the last section.

### improved

- Hands sweep into the homepage, flex subtly and respond to typing.
