  • I am aware of telemetry, yes.

    Even if we ignore your continued conflation of Word and Microsoft 365, I suspect you have nothing to support your assertion that Word transmits the content of your document files to Microsoft.

    Realistically this whole exchange is moot. A medical providers use of patient data management software in no way constitutes a “release” of data to that software provider as the person I originally replied to seemed to think.

    Perhaps you’ll have an opportunity to administer a tenant someday and that’ll give you a better understanding.


  • So I am not being willfully ignorant. I work with both daily.

    Then you’re just being ignorant.

    O365, which is actually Microsoft 365 now, is a suite of productivity software as well as collaboration and cloud-based services.

    Word is a word processing program. They are not the same and use of Word does not equate to O365.

    You should know this. Just like you should know that a business using a piece of software, such as a medical facility using Epic’s patient data management tools, does not equate to patient data being “released” to Epic.

    Since you seem to be struggling with the concept perhaps a different example would be easier for you?

    Just because you get an MRI doesn’t mean the data collected for the MRI is “released” to GE.
