Data collected by or disclosed to other advertising companies. Advertisers sometimes include their own or other advertising partners’ web beacons within their ads that we display, enabling them to set and read their own cookies. In some cases, we share reports with advertisers about the data we have collected on their sites or ads. Additionally, Microsoft partners with Xandr (a Microsoft Company) and third-party ad companies to help provide some of our advertising services, and we also allow other third-party ad companies to display advertisements on our sites.

Click to Do can operate as a stand-alone feature or in partnership with Windows Recall. Once started, Click to Do enables you to capture and analyze screenshots, identify the presence of text and images, and offers relevant actions for each—such as editing a screenshot or revising captured text. Click to Do cannot identify the content within screenshots, but you can use local AI or other tools to modify that content if you wish. All activity remains on your local device unless you explicitly choose, like sending an image for a Bing search, requesting a summary of selected text (which is processed by Microsoft’s Azure AI cloud service), or using another tool to modify a screenshot.

If you choose to turn on Personalized offers, we will use information about your device and how you use it, including Windows diagnostic data, in combination with your account info and data collected by other Microsoft products and services to offer you personalized tips, ads, and recommendations to enhance your Windows experiences. Personalized offers include suggestions on how to customize and optimize Windows, as well as ads and recommendations for Microsoft and third-party products and services, features, apps, and hardware to enhance your Windows experiences. For example, Windows might tell you about new features to help you get the most out of your device.
