This commitment signals Microsoft's intent to build AI that handles your personal data responsibly, though the actual data rights you have are governed by separate privacy policies and applicable law.
This provision is relevant to GDPR Article 25 (data protection by design and default) and CCPA compliance obligations; institutional buyers should verify product-level data processing agreements align with these stated principles.
