What changed, in plain language

Nothing changed in this update except two web links, which got a trailing slash added (the Korea Addendum link and the Cookie Notice link). Both links point to the same pages as before. No rules about your data, your rights, or how OpenAI uses your information were changed.

This change appears to be cosmetic (formatting, typos, or contact details).
