Microsoft's announcement of the new AI-powered Windows 11 Recall feature has sparked a lot of concern, with many thinking that it has created massive privacy risks and a new attack vector that threat actors can exploit to steal data. While it's currently only available on Copilot+ PCs running Snapdragon X ARM processors, Microsoft says they are working with Intel and AMD to bring the feature to all Windows 11 devices.
Microsoft has announced the Copilot+ line of Windows 11-powered PCs that, among other things, will have Recall, a feature that takes screenshots every few seconds, encrypts them, saves them, and leverages AI to allow users to search through them for specific content that has been viewed in apps, websites, documents, etc. "Once you find the snapshot that you were looking for in Recall, it will be analysed and offer you options to interact with the content. What actions you can take depend on the content and the chat provider capabilities in Copilot in Windows. For example, you may highlight a block of text and decide to summarise it, translate it, or open it with a text editor like Word or Notepad. If you highlight an image, you will be able to edit it or use your chat provider in Copilot in Windows to find or create a similar image," Microsoft explains.
A more sustainable, effective, and proactive approach to data privacy compliance is privacy by design. Supporting data enablement across the organization, while providing controls for them to govern data use across the data estate, will help to unlock the value of data.
Data Subject Requests - formal requests made to a company by a person to access, delete, or request not to sell/share the personal data that the company holds on them - increased by 32% from 2022 to 2023, according to DataGrail's 2024 Privacy Trends Report. Data deletion requests were the most common type of DSR, on average accounting for more than 40% of requests across businesses.

The Federal Trade Commission is sending $5.6 million in refunds to Ring users whose private video feeds were accessed without consent by Amazon employees and contractors, or had their accounts and devices hacked because of insufficient security protections.
