OpenAI removed two hyperlink annotations from its EU Terms of Use on June 28, 2026. The phrase '(opens in a new window)' was deleted from two references: one pointing to the Transparency & Content Moderation page and one pointing to a related article. The operational effect is minimal—the links themselves remain functional, but the explicit disclosure that they open in a new window has been removed.
This change has no material impact on consumer rights or obligations under the terms. The updated language removes only a visual notation indicating that hyperlinks open in a new window. The underlying links to content moderation processes and further information remain available and functional.
Two instances of '(opens in a new window)' were deleted from links to content moderation and policy information pages.
