de-identification
About this tag
The de-identification tag on WindowsForum.com covers Microsoft's changes to how voice recordings are handled for product improvement. Since October 30, 2020, new voice clips are de-identified, meaning they are no longer linked to individual Microsoft accounts and therefore do not appear on the Microsoft Privacy Dashboard. Older recordings tied to accounts before that date remain viewable and deletable. Discussions focus on the practical impact on user privacy, the opt-in process, and differences across Microsoft products. The tag is relevant for users and administrators seeking to understand what voice data is collected, how de-identification affects visibility and control, and how to manage privacy settings.
