Microsoft states that its AI systems should respect privacy and maintain security, supporting privacy norms and protecting data from theft and exploitation.

This principle describes Microsoft's stated commitment to privacy protection in AI systems, which is relevant to consumers whose personal data may be processed by Microsoft AI products.
Interpretive note: The document text was not fully available for direct quotation; this provision is characterized based on the publicly known content of the Microsoft Responsible AI page and the page's stated subject matter.
This provision is a policy statement and does not independently govern how Microsoft collects, processes, or shares personal data in AI products; those obligations are set out in Microsoft's Privacy Statement and applicable data processing agreements. Consumers should review the Microsoft Privacy Statement for enforceable data rights.

(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Privacy obligations for AI systems are addressed under GDPR, CCPA, and sector-specific frameworks including HIPAA for health data. This public statement does not constitute a privacy notice, data processing agreement, or consent mechanism under any of these frameworks. The FTC and EU data protection authorities are the primary enforcement bodies relevant to consumer data privacy in AI products. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low as a standalone policy statement. However, if this page is cited in privacy impact assessments or vendor due diligence without verification against the Microsoft Privacy Statement and DPA, the gap creates compliance exposure. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA organizations must rely on the Microsoft Data Protection Addendum and Standard Contractual Clauses for GDPR compliance, not this page. California residents have specific rights under CCPA that are addressed in Microsoft's Privacy Statement rather than here. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise procurement teams should ensure that data processing agreements with Microsoft specifically address AI product data handling, as this policy statement does not substitute for contractual data protection obligations. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Organizations should conduct a data mapping exercise to identify which personal data flows through Microsoft AI products and verify that the Microsoft Privacy Statement and DPA address those flows adequately.
