This is some pathetic chuddery you’re spewing…
You wouldn’t assume that QA can read every email you send through their mail servers ”just because”
I absolutely would, and Microsoft explicitly maintains the right to do that in their standard T&C, both for emails and for any data passed through their AI products.

That seems to be the terms for the personal edition of Microsoft 365 though? I’m pretty sure the enterprise edition that has the features like DLP and tagging content as confidential would have a separate agreement where they are not passing on the data.
Unless this boundary has actually been crossed in which case, yes. It’s very serious.

This part applies to all customers:
And while Microsoft has many variations of licensing terms for different jurisdictions and market segments, what they generally promise to opted-out enterprise customers is that they won’t use their inputs to train “public foundation models”. They’re still retaining those inputs, and they reserve the right to use them for training proprietary or specialized models, like safety-filters or summarizers meant to act as part of their broader AI platform, which could leak down the line.
That’s also assuming Microsoft are competent, good-faith actors — which they definitely aren’t.
