Did you pay for copilot yourself or did your job provide you with a license?
The enterprise tier of copilot is supposed to have access to such data, though it can be managed trough internal policies.
Ask it to summarize your latests emails In outlook/teams messages. If it has access to those (and this is intended) then its near certainty also setup to know who is who in the organization.
Allegedly, the data is “safe” because enterprises is supposedly not harvested and used for training… which makes me conclude non enterprise use absolutely is.
Allegedly because thats what Microsoft claims and on paper it looks legal. But these tech companies never seem to actually follow the law to such a degree that any claims that unmistakably seem to fit within the legal framework automatically are sus to me.
