Is there any way we can verify this?

  If you can't trust Microsoft employees saying it, then it's most likely you won't be able to trust anything short of running Wireshark to verify the outgoing data, no?

  For better or worse, here - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/compliance/gdpr-dsr-visual-studio-family https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/compliance/gd... However, if you don't trust us (and I get it!) Your best bet is just to opt out which you can do at any time, including during install. Disclosure: I work at AZure on machine learning but not VS Code

  If in the EU you could ask for all collected data under the GDPR. [ed: all personal data - so there might be some set of aggregated, non-identifable data that they might not be required by gdpr to allow insight to - that is however a pretty high bar to clear (and intertwines with being allowed to sample / collect that data in the first place, informed concent, defaulting to not collecting data (opt-in) etc]
