AI Training Data Use

Why it matters

Your personal data — including things you type, say, or create — may be used to improve Microsoft's AI systems, often without a clear opt-out mechanism surfaced at the point of collection.

Consumer impact

Microsoft collects a broad range of personal data across Xbox and all its products, including voice data, precise location, gaming history, payment details, and behavioral inferences, which are shared across Microsoft's product family and used for advertising and AI model improvement. Minors using Xbox are subject to specific parental consent controls, but the breadth of data collection across interconnected Microsoft services means that even child accounts generate significant data profiles. You can review, download, and delete your personal data by visiting your Microsoft Privacy Dashboard at https://account.microsoft.com/privacy.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Delete Your Data
    Log in to your Microsoft account, navigate to the Privacy Dashboard, select 'Activity history', review data categories, and use the deletion tools provided to remove data that may be used for AI training.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    The FTC has authority over unfair or deceptive data practices including undisclosed use of personal data for AI training under FTC Act Section 5.
