Microsoft is rolling out new privacy provisions in its Online Services Terms (OST) contracts for all commercial customers after European privacy regulators began investigating it over potential violations of the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) last month said it had "serious concerns" over Microsoft's contracts with European institutions and compliance with GDPR rules.
It kicked off an investigation in April after the Dutch Ministry of Justice found that telemetry data Microsoft collected from Office 365 ProPlus and Office 365 users violated GDPR.

The new OST reflect the contractual changes Microsoft developed with the Dutch MoJ, according to Julie Brill, [...] The new OST should provide customers with more transparency about data processing in the Microsoft cloud.

Under GDPR, Microsoft is a data processor for its customers and it collects and uses personal data from its online services.
Brill said the new contract terms will increase Microsoft's data-protection responsibilities "for a subset of processing that Microsoft engages in when we provide enterprise services".
