This verification is scoped to Microsoft 365 Copilot for business, not every consumer or product-specific service branded Copilot. Microsoft 365 Copilot works in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, Loop, and other Microsoft 365 surfaces; it uses Microsoft Graph data the user is permitted to access and includes Copilot Chat, Copilot Search, agents, and app-specific drafting, summarization, analysis, and meeting capabilities. Prompts, responses, and Microsoft Graph data are not used to train foundation LLMs. Interaction content is stored under the customer's Microsoft 365 contractual commitments, encrypted at rest, manageable through Microsoft Purview, and deletable through Copilot activity history controls. Microsoft does not claim ownership of service output but does not determine whether output is copyright-protected or enforceable. Its Copilot Copyright Commitment can defend qualifying commercial customers against certain copyright claims when required guardrails and content filters were used. The official privacy and overview documentation was updated July 9, 2026.
