You may read that and think that means your employer can see every prompt you enter in Copilot. To some extent, that is true; in the same way, they can see every email message or Teams chat you type with your work account. It is a work account after all. The key piece missing from that simple statement is that it’s not easy to do, and, by design, there are usually very few people who can collect and review that data. Usually, the effort required to do that isn’t worth it. So, if it has happened to you, it’s likely because someone or something has raised a suspicion that warranted an investigation. Most users never reach this level of scrutiny.
