Privacy question - how Azure Map handles user input precise location

Chenglong Hu 20 Microsoft Employee

I'm from Microsoft internal team and we are doing a privacy review on how Azure Map handles user input precise location.

What is the Azure Maps team doing with the user input precise location data?
Are you storing the precise location data anywhere? If you are, for how long? The preference would be that they are NOT storing the data.

Precise GPS location data is not captured by Azure Maps services. If there is a button to center the map over your location, it uses the browsers location APIs and the data stays local.

Thanks for your answer! As a suggestion, it would be better putting these privacy related answer to Microsoft Docs and people could easily figure out the answer self-service : )
