OpenAI modified two sentences in its Enterprise Privacy Policy, detected on July 16, 2026. The opening section now includes a formatting change (addition of 'Enterprise privacy at OpenAI' as a header). More substantively, the language describing workspace admin control over data retention was changed from 'Your workspace admins control how long your workspace data is retained' to 'Your workspace admins can control how long your data is retained.' This shifts the framing from an affirmative control right to a permissive capability, and removes the word 'workspace' before 'data,' potentially broadening the scope of data subject to admin control beyond workspace-specific data.
