Microsoft Word

No product-specific finding beyond Microsoft's overall framework. The item worth flagging is Connected Experiences - the cloud-backed features embedded in Office applications that transmit document content for processing and, per Microsoft's privacy-settings documentation as previously reviewed (not re-verified this pass), are enabled by default. Most users describing Word as 'offline software' are describing a product that no longer exists in that form. Cross-ref the Microsoft Copilot row in LLM Providers: the enterprise/consumer split there applies here too, and employees signing into Office with personal accounts is precisely how the enterprise protection gets bypassed.

Contacts

Privacy contact. No published privacy email; Microsoft routes requests via microsoft.com/concern/privacy (30-day response commitment)

Legal notice. PUBLIC COMPANY (MSFT). Service route: c/o General Counsel / Corporate Secretary, Redmond, Washington — the corporate address on the SEC Form 10-K cover page is the official address of record. Confirm the exact street address on the current 10-K at sec.gov/edgar, and check the state-of-incorporation registered agent (usually Delaware; most large filers use The Corporation Trust Company or Corporation Service Company) via the Secretary of State business-entity search. A registered agent MUST accept service, which is why it is the reliable channel when a company publishes no privacy address.
