Event Summary

OpenAI removed the full language selector list from the header of their Data Processing Addendum on June 6, 2026, replacing it with a collapsed menu indicator ('...'). The document substance, effective date (January 1, 2026), and legal definitions remain unchanged. This is a formatting change to how the document is presented, not a modification of the data processing terms, rights, or obligations themselves.
