Institutional Analysis

Assessment

This change is a document structure and presentation update with no material impact on privacy obligations, data governance, or compliance frameworks. RunPod removed marketing and promotional content from the privacy policy document to present the legal terms as a standalone policy rather than as a marketing page. No new privacy obligations, data processing authorizations, or consent requirements were introduced or modified by this change. Compliance teams should verify that the retained privacy language matches prior versions, but no substantive policy review is required unless the underlying privacy terms were also modified.
