Qwen Chat EU privacy policy drops purposes table, legal bases and children's age statements

AI training: reworded✓ Machine-checked

The new version removes the table that tied each data use to the data categories and legal bases (contract, consent, legitimate interests, legal obligation). It also removes the extra list of permitted purposes and the statements on under-18 and under-13 users. The removed rows included using de-identified user content and feedback to improve AI models; the diff does not show whether this is covered elsewhere.
