User grants Microsoft a broad worldwide, royalty-free license over all submitted content including AI prompts. The license covers improvement of Microsoft products and services, which may include model training.

“Microsoft or other rights holders reserve all rights to the material not expressly granted by Microsoft under the license terms, whether by implication, estoppel, or otherwise.”

“we grant you a revocable, non-transferable, and non-exclusive right to legally use this product and related services. All other rights not expressly authorized by these Terms are reserved by DeepSeek, and before exercising such rights, you must obtain written permission from…”
The terms do not explicitly assign ownership of generated outputs to users. Combined with DeepSeek's broad reservation of all non-expressly-granted rights, there is no clear statement that users own or receive an unrestricted license to their outputs.
“To the extent necessary to provide the Services to you and others, to protect you and the Services, and to improve Microsoft products and services, you grant to Microsoft a worldwide and royalty-free intellectual property license to use Your Content, for example, to make copies o…”
The license explicitly includes 'improve Microsoft products and services', which is broad enough to encompass model training on user-submitted content including AI prompts and outputs. No opt-out mechanism is stated in this clause.
“To improve and develop the Services and to train and improve our technology, such as our machine learning models and algorithms. Including by monitoring interactions and usage across your devices, analyzing how people are using it, and training and improving our technology.”
User inputs and interactions are explicitly used to train AI models with no opt-out mechanism described in this section.

Bing and MSN content is explicitly limited to noncommercial personal use. Using outputs to build products or redistribute content is prohibited unless specifically authorized, creating significant risk for any commercial AI or data pipeline use.

“If you have more content stored in your OneDrive than is provided to you under the terms of your free or paid subscription service for Microsoft storage and you do not respond to notice from Microsoft to fix your account by removing excess content or moving to a new subscription…”
Microsoft may delete user content on OneDrive without further warning if storage limits are exceeded and the user does not act.
“the right to delete Personal Data you’ve provided to us, or that we’ve obtained about you;”
The policy mentions a deletion right but provides no information on actual retention periods, deletion timelines, or whether model weights trained on user data can be 'deleted'.
“Applications acquired through certain Stores owned or operated by Microsoft or its affiliates (including, but not limited to the Office Store, Microsoft Store on Windows and Microsoft Store on Xbox) are subject to section 14.b.i below.”
Different rules apply to applications acquired through Microsoft's various Stores, but the specific differences are deferred to section 14.b.i which is not present in this excerpt, creating uncertainty about what additional terms may apply to those users.
“and **Payment Personal Data** are not applicable to DeepSeek App.”
