The provision establishes operational requirements for how Microsoft structures AI training practices, including documentation and consent alignment mechanisms. These requirements define the institutional framework Microsoft applies to govern data inputs and traceability across its AI systems.
The terms require Microsoft to maintain data provenance documentation and restrict personal data use in AI training to purposes aligned with original collection consent, establishing procedural constraints on how user data may be incorporated into model training. Users' data is subject to these minimization and consent-alignment controls as stated in the agreement.
How other platforms handle this
Data publicly available on the Internet. Our artificial intelligence models are trained on data that is publicly available on the Internet by third parties, which may contain personal data, even if we use good practices to filter out such personal data.

To improve the quality of our services, we analyse texts submitted for translation. We ensure that this analysis cannot be traced back to individual users by anonymising the data before analysis. DeepL Pro subscribers' texts are not used to train our machine translation systems.
We may use your Autocomplete User Content to improve our discriminative machine learning models, which are models that rank or assign scores to code generations in order to understand the boundaries between different sets of code. We will never use your Autocomplete User Content to improve generativ...
