Change Summary
DeepL updated its privacy policy to clarify its corporate structure and data controller responsibilities. Previously, the policy identified only DeepL SE as the data controller responsible for processing personal data. The updated policy now states that 'DeepL' refers to the entity within the DeepL group that acts as the controller, and lists seven legal entities across Germany, UK, Netherlands, Poland, US, and Japan that may process data. The policy also added language disclosing that when users access DeepL through third-party AI tools via DeepL's MCP integration, DeepL receives the user's ID and organization name for authentication purposes.
