Microsoft added two sentences to its Privacy Statement on March 5, 2026, stating that it has updated its data retention policy to reflect new regulatory requirements effective March 2026, and that users in the European Economic Area will have additional rights under this updated policy. The updated language does not specify what those additional rights are, what the retention policy changes entail, or how they differ from prior practice. This represents a disclosure of policy change rather than a detailed operational modification.
