Microsoft Azure's privacy policy now discloses that if you consent to receive marketing communications via phone, the company may contact you using automated dialing systems and artificial or prerecorded voices, including those generated by AI. This is a new disclosure about how marketing calls may be delivered if you opt in to phone-based marketing. The update clarifies a specific practice rather than changing your existing rights, but it sets expectations about the technology used if you provide a phone number for marketing purposes.
If you provide a phone number and consent to receive marketing communications, Microsoft Azure may contact you using automated dialing systems and voices generated or recorded with artificial intelligence technology. This is a disclosure of an existing or potential practice rather than a new right or obligation. You can decline to provide your phone number or withdraw consent to phone marketing if you do not wish to receive calls using these technologies.
