To help organizations meet their privacy and compliance requirements, we have released Microsoft Purview, our line of enterprise data governance and compliance solutions, and Microsoft Entra that unifies Microsoft identity and access capabilities.

In response, Microsoft has continued to release tools to help protect the data of our consumer customers, including Microsoft Defender for individuals. Since then, we’ve seen continued interest from our consumer customers for tools to protect the security and privacy of their data, as well as increasing initiatives from governments and businesses to keep personal data in their jurisdictions and under their sovereign control. This report also summarizes important new developments in privacy at Microsoft since April 2022. We publish this Microsoft Privacy Report twice a year to give you the latest information on what personal data we collect, how it may be used, and how both our consumer and our organizational customers can manage and control their data. We live up to our commitment to protect your privacy by providing products, information, and controls that enable you-our individual and organizational customers-to choose how personal data is collected and used. At Microsoft, we value, protect, and defend privacy.
