OpenRouter removed "(opens in new tab)" indicators from eight hyperlinks throughout its privacy policy, affecting references to external terms of service, LLM provider data practices, cookie information, Google Analytics opt-out tools, and advertising network opt-out pages. The substantive privacy disclosures and linked resources remain unchanged; only the visual or technical cue indicating that links open in a new browser tab was removed. This is a formatting change with no operational impact on user access to the referenced information.
This change has no material impact on consumer rights, data practices, or policy terms. The removal of "opens in new tab" indicators is purely a formatting change. All linked resources—including terms of service, model provider data practices, and opt-out mechanisms—remain accessible. Consumers who wish to review external policies or use opt-out tools are not affected by this change.
This change is operationally insignificant. The removal of formatting indicators does not alter the privacy policy's substantive disclosures, user data rights, or access to referenced external resources. All linked information remains accessible to users who wish to review model provider practices, opt-out mechanisms, or related governance documents.
