Impact Summary

The updated notice no longer explains the Connected Apps personalization feature, eligibility requirements, or how to enable this functionality. This means the policy no longer discloses this data use practice, though it remains unclear whether the underlying feature itself has been discontinued or simply removed from the privacy notice.
