I don’t think this is standard anywhere for grantors, but I was unsure, so I checked a few. Carnegie, Gates, and the National Council of Nonprofits guidance. All three require disclosure, some cases require recusal, none of the three ban funding.
Does Open Philanthropy have a public document like this?
I hope it at least exists internally but I think they should follow the example of other well-established organisations like Gates to make it public, especially given the prevalence of polyamory in this community and the “insularity” of the Bay Area as described in this comment.
Edit: I believe this was important enough to turn into a separate post.
There is this, but I agree it would be good if there was one that were substantially more detailed in describing the process.
(You are probably getting downvotes because you brought up polyamory without being very specific about describing exactly how you think it relates to why Open Phil should have a public COI policy. People are sensitive about the topic, because it personally relates to them and is sometimes conflated with things it shouldn’t be conflated with. Regardless, it doesn’t seem relevant to your actual point, which is just that there should be a public document.)

Not sure if it’s public, but this indicates it exists.
