About this tag
Data retention on WindowsForum.com covers how Microsoft products handle the lifecycle of user and organizational data, from employee feedback in Viva Glint to communications in Purview, AI interactions in Teams Copilot, and search history in Bing.

Topics also include privacy settings for opting out of training data retention and the operational impact of changes like the end of Teams recording expiration emails. The tag reflects a focus on enterprise IT, security, and regulatory compliance.
