Change Summary

For Math Tutor, audio is shared with Apple for speech recognition and then deleted, while text transcripts may be retained and shared with AI vendors. The policy also added language clarifying that IP addresses may be retained longer for payment processing and fraud prevention when users have paid subscriptions.
