Vendor data-handling terms
Training on your data (default tier)
Customer-trained custom models stay in the customer's region and subscription; Microsoft's use of documents for its own model training is governed by the Azure AI terms
The policy does not say whether user content is used to train models.
“The trained custom models are stored in Azure storage in the same region and logically isolated with their Azure subscription and API credentials.”
Retention
Input documents and results deleted after 24 hours, or earlier via the API
“Deletes data : The service stores submitted input data and analyze results for 24 hours after an analysis operation completes. Document Intelligence automatically deletes both after this retention period. To delete the data earlier, call the Delete Analyze Result API.”
Data residency
Stored temporarily in the same Azure region as the resource
“For all analysis : To facilitate asynchronous analysis and checking the completion status and returning the extracted results to the customer upon completion, the data and extracted results are stored temporarily in Azure Storage in the same region.”

Assessment
Cloud service: low
Reasoning: Azure's document OCR and extraction service. Documents and results are held 24 hours in the resource's region; custom models stay in the customer's subscription. Company Azure resource rather than a personal account.
Flags: 24-hour retention · Region-bound · Assessed 2026-09-16. The assessment is Unseen's; the terms above are the vendor's.
