Version history

Microsoft revised its privacy statement to clarify how it collects and uses data with Microsoft Copilot. The updated terms now explicitly state that Copilot collects data about your interactions with Microsoft websites and apps, and may use conversation history (including saved memories) to personalize your experience across Microsoft products like Bing, Edge, and MSN. The policy removed language stating that Copilot data would be used to train AI models unless you opt out, and replaced it with a reference to a Transparency Note for safety practices.

Microsoft updated its Privacy Statement from June 2026 to July 2026, adding a new disclosure that it may share age group information with Microsoft apps, services, and third-party apps to apply safeguards and tailor experiences. The statement also added details about the Screenshot feature in Sticky Notes, which allows users to capture and annotate content from other apps. Most other changes are formatting updates, including standardization of 'Xbox' to 'XBOX' throughout the document.
