Firm will not use email, chat and voice data for targeted advertising

From V3:

The company explained that the new user privacy agreement makes it plain it does not use stored content as fuel for targeted adverts.

"One of the things we are very focused on at Microsoft is making sure people have a great experience across all of our apps and services," said Ryan Gavin, general manager for search, cloud and content at Microsoft, in a blog post.

Users should expect better privacy and transparency, according to Gavin, and will not find that their stored and sent documents, images and messages are used for the purpose of targeted adverts.
