Yes, with care Microsoft Copilot says customer content is not used to train its AI models by default (or lets you opt out). It reports an independent security audit (SOC 2 or ISO/IEC 27001). It offers GDPR/CCPA rights or a data processing agreement (DPA). Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. You can delete your data or account. Use a business or team plan, check the settings, and keep a signed DPA on file before sharing client data.
