The API terms carry a rights matrix and no longer require a credential Trooth does not issue. The connectors, privacy, retention, corrections, and API versioning documents were revised to match what the product does. The service level agreement now states, in one place, the remedies available to a reader who relies on Trooth for a critical decision. The downloadable trust documents no longer claim browser preload listing, external anchoring, or a software bill of materials that covers the Workers, because none of those is in place. ## Why it changed Several documents described credentials, controls and remedies the product does not have. ## Who is affected - **Affected:** Anyone using Trooth under its terms, and anyone relying on its trust documents. - **Availability:** Public. - **Release stage:** Available. - **Areas:** Legal. ## What to do **Action not assessed.** Not assessed on this entry.
