Consumers in sensitive sectors — such as patients using AI-powered health tools or customers using AI-driven financial products — should know that Microsoft acknowledges heightened responsibilities in these areas, even if specific safeguards are not detailed here.
This document describes Microsoft's internal ethical framework for AI development but does not grant consumers any enforceable rights, data deletion options, or complaint procedures in relation to AI-driven decisions that may affect them. Consumers who use Microsoft AI products like Copilot or Azure OpenAI Service are subject to separate terms of service and privacy policies that govern actual data handling, and this page does not modify or supplement those agreements. You can review Microsoft's Privacy Statement at microsoft.com/en-us/privacy and submit data rights requests through Microsoft's Privacy Dashboard if you are concerned about how your personal data is used by Microsoft AI systems.
