DeepL's privacy policy page was updated on May 5, 2026 with minor content changes to the introductory marketing text. The change removed some case study references and added a new tagline about 'Meet the new DeepL Translator, an AI-first multilingual platform for business.' The core privacy protections and data governance language remain unchanged; this appears to be a refreshed product description rather than a substantive policy modification.
