OpenAI updated its Usage Policies page on June 29, 2026 to display language selection options for multiple languages before the policy content. The actual policy text remained unchanged, stating 'We aim for our tools to be used safely and responsibly, while maximizing your control over how you use them.' This change is organizational and presentational rather than substantive to the policy itself.
This change is a user interface update that does not alter the substance of OpenAI's usage policies. The policy text remains identical to the prior version.
