Key points

  • Microsoft Copilot allows human contractors to review user prompts, uploaded images, and AI‑generated edits for safety checks.
  • Users cannot opt out of human review when violations of Microsoft’s Code of Conduct are suspected.
  • Copilot Vision deletes uploaded images within 30 days after a conversation ends, but retains metadata for de‑identification before training.

The company also says that Copilot Vision processes images during a session, deletes them within 30 days after the conversation ends, and removes identifying information before any training.
