Privacy and security: We work to ensure AI systems respect privacy and are built with security in mind. We support comprehensive legislation and regulation protecting individual privacy rights.
As Microsoft AI systems process increasing volumes of personal data to power tools like Copilot and Azure AI, this commitment determines the baseline privacy protections consumers can expect — and signals Microsoft's policy stance on privacy legislation.
Microsoft's Responsible AI framework sets out the ethical principles — fairness, reliability, privacy, security, inclusiveness, transparency, and accountability — that govern how AI is built and deployed across all Microsoft products used by consumers. While these commitments signal meaningful intent, they are voluntary and do not create legally enforceable rights for individual users, meaning consumers harmed by AI decisions have limited direct recourse under this document alone. You can submit feedback or concerns about Microsoft AI systems through the dedicated responsible AI resources linked at microsoft.com/en-us/ai/responsible-ai.
