• Significant changes in data handling: If there are major changes in how the organization collects, stores, processes, or shares user data, that may impact the user’s privacy rights.
• Privacy policy/term updates: If the organization makes significant updates or modifications to its privacy policies or terms of service that affect how user data is handled.
