The Recall feature is designed to find content on a user's PC and support the generative AI data-compiling method. To do this, the Recall feature must progressively take snapshots of the user's screen content to create a library to enhance the AI responses.
Microsoft stated that Recall 'will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers. That data may be in snapshots that are stored on your device, especially when sites do not follow standard internet protocols like cloaking password entry.'
The UK's ICO has now raised concerns with Microsoft: 'We are making inquiries with Microsoft to understand the safeguards in place to protect user privacy.'
