Assessment

Consumer use (not signed in with a work account): medium

Reasoning: The consumer statement permits training on data and worldwide processing; queries typed into an AI search box are short but often contain names, project terms, and internal references. The exposure is lower than a chat assistant because sessions are brief and file upload is limited. Work-account use inside Microsoft 365 Copilot is a separate entry with enterprise terms.

Flags: Consumer terms apply unless signed in with a work account under enterprise data protection · Assessed 2026-09-16. The assessment is Unseen's; the terms above are the vendor's.
