OpenAI removed language identifying this as a US-specific privacy policy and collapsed a multilingual language selector into an ellipsis (…) in the document header on June 8, 2026. Previously, the policy explicitly stated 'US privacy policy' and displayed a full list of 70+ language options. The updated version removes the explicit US designation and abbreviates the language selector, which may affect how users identify the applicable jurisdiction for this policy and how they access translations.
The operational substance of OpenAI's privacy policy remains unchanged. The updated document removes the explicit 'US privacy policy' label from the header and abbreviates the language selector display, but the policy itself continues to apply to US users and users in other jurisdictions as previously stated. The policy retains language directing European Economic Area, UK, and Switzerland residents to a separate regional version.
