Generated by a model from the captured document; not read by a person

An AI-powered assistant integrated across Microsoft's suite of products and services that helps users with tasks like writing, coding, data analysis, and content creation through natural language interactions. The platform processes user inputs and generates responses using large language models, requiring access to personal data, documents, and usage patterns to provide contextual assistance. Policy monitoring is important because the service handles sensitive user information and creative outputs, with terms governing data usage, content ownership, privacy protections, and liability for AI-generated results.

Higher = more protective of you, the user/customer — a deliberately user-protective lens, not a universal “good vs bad” score. Computed algorithmically from Microsoft Copilot’s cited governance stances; no dimension we haven’t confidently read is ever counted against the score. Free, reproducible, and never purchasable.

User consent to data collection via Terms acceptance

Consent to data collection, use, and disclosure is embedded in acceptance of the Terms, meaning agreeing to use the Services simultaneously grants this data consent.

Class action and representative proceedings prohibited

Prohibiting all forms of representative and collective relief means each user must pursue claims individually, which limits the practical ability to challenge widespread conduct.

AI prohibition on consequential decisions without human oversight

This prohibition places a clear obligation on users to maintain appropriate human oversight whenever AI outputs could consequentially affect any person's legal, financial, life, employment, or human …
