Updated Layout of Legal pages
We changed the layout to our Privacy Policy, Licenses, and Terms of Service pages to make it easier to read the pages and find information way better. Our new page layout focuses on being able to read it good and the structure making it easier for you to find and understand the information that matters most.
What’s new:
• Better readability: We removed the outer boxes that the words used to sit in, and make them "blend in" with the background for easier readability.
• Modern styling: A clean, minimal interface that matches our platform’s updated design.

Website Icon now shows on creator pages
We changed how links are shown on creator pages by adding automatic website icons. When you add a link to your profile, it will now automatically get and show the website's icon, now adding a more visual and recognizable way to show your links and for users to recognize what the link is.
What changed:
• Automatic icon: You don't need to choose an icon for your website. When pasting the websites URL it will automatically fetch the websites icon.
Added custom website names
For better user experience and profile customization, we've added an option for users to be able to add a label of what there website links to.
