Microsoft has announced an update to the privacy provisions in the
Microsoft Online Services Terms (OST) for its commercial cloud
contracts, providing more transparency over data processing to its
customers in the Microsoft Cloud.
The company said in a statement
late Monday that the new contractual terms will apply to all commercial
customers -- public sector and private sector, large enterprises and
small and medium businesses -- globally at the beginning of 2020.
"At
Microsoft we consider privacy a fundamental right, and we believe
stronger privacy protections through greater transparency and
accountability should benefit our customers everywhere," said Julie
Brill, Corporate Vice President for Global Privacy and Regulatory
Affairs and Chief Privacy Officer.
Following EU privacy probe
Microsoft said it will increase data protection responsibilities for a
subset of processing that Microsoft engages in when it provides
enterprise services.
"In the update, we will clarify that
Microsoft assumes the role of data controller when we process data for
specified administrative and operational purposes incident to providing
the cloud services covered by this contractual framework, such as Azure,
Office 365, Dynamics and Intune," said the company.
The company said it remains committed to listening closely to customers' needs and concerns regarding privacy.
