Microsoft says that the Recall index remains local and private on-device, encrypted in a way that is linked to a particular user's account. "Recall screenshots are only linked to a specific user profile and Recall does not share them with other users, make them available for Microsoft to view, or use them for targeting advertisements. Screenshots are only available to the person whose profile was used to sign in to the device," Microsoft says.

Users can pause, stop, or delete captured content and can exclude specific apps or websites. Recall won't take snapshots of InPrivate web browsing sessions in Microsoft Edge or DRM-protected content

Optional and local. Meh.

Google used to claim that all of their scanning was anonymized and contained no personally identifiable information. Companies lie all the time, especially when they're committing egregious privacy intrusions.

Stop when that companies shit. We are talking about MS specific. They are very upfront and what they do and don't collect.
