ChatGPT EU privacy policy drops 'or authorities' from teen-safety notifications and adds a contact line
The legal-basis row for legal compliance and safety was already in the old version. The only change in it is that teen-safety notifications no longer mention 'authorities', so they now name only parents or guardians. A sentence was also added saying other concerns can be sent to privacy@openai.com, an address already given elsewhere in the policy. The 'Updated' date shown is 13 March 2026, earlier than the old version's April 1, 2026.
