From what I have been reading, the raw data is meant to remain local (the screen recordings) but I am unclear about the indexed AI-generated metadata. For instance, if the AI identified that you used X software at Y time to complete Z task, are the XYZ tags kept local or archived elsewhere? That might not violate many privacy rules. Either way, they certainly could be uploaded/shared very easily should Microsoft's policies change. I guess it is down to how much we all trust Microsoft long term.
Personally, I will never accept someone recording my screens. In fact, running any such software on my work machine would violate a host of professional rules.
- jkaplowitz 2y agoI can’t imagine them not providing a way to turn Recall off, for reasons like the ones you describe.

- Saris 2y agoThat's what I assume, they're very specific in saying your screenshots and recordings are kept locally to be analyzed by the AI, but they don't mention the data generated by the AI from your activities.
