Transparency. We work to be transparent about our AI systems so that people can understand how they work and make informed decisions.
Transparency is a core requirement under GDPR Art. 13 and 14 (information to be provided to data subjects) and EU AI Act Art. 13, but this commitment does not specify what disclosures are actually made to users of specific AI products.
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.
