This article applies to: Microsoft Copilot Enterprise
Microsoft Copilot Enterprise is a university-wide “private” version of ChatGPT and Dall-E that enables faculty, staff, and students to experiment with generative AI text, image, and coding tools without storing the person’s login and chat data or being used to train the large language models.

Copilot in Windows
When you log in to Windows with your Cornell NetID you will have the same protected access as Microsoft Copilot Enterprise.
Your Copilot in Windows pane will say "Your everyday AI companion with Bing" and you will see this message: “Your personal and company data are protected in this chat.”
Copilot's Protected Status
When you are signed in to the Cornell-contracted version of Copilot, there will be a shield icon near your avatar. The shield indicates your login and chat data won't be stored or used to train the large language models.
When you hover over the shield icon, text appears to confirm that you are signed on with enterprise data protection.
If you don't see the Protected icon and the text, you may be using a personal Microsoft account.
If you do not see these icons, your chats can be stored by Microsoft and used to train their models.
To remedy this:
- Either:
- Clear your browser cache and cookies. (If you've never done this before, use these instructions) or
- Open an "Incognito" (Chrome), "Private" (Safari, Firefox), or "InPrivate" (Edge) browser window.
- Sign in to Copilot with your Cornell account using one of the options above.
If you still don't see the "Protected" icon, contact the IT Service Desk.
You may see a "Sign in" button as well as the Protected icon. Your Copilot session will be protected, meaning your login and chat data won't be stored or used to train the large language models.
Using Copilot and Sensitive Information
Microsoft Copilot is powered by ChatGPT, Dall-E, and Microsoft’s search engine, which improves how current and accurate its responses are, but also means chats make use of the public search engine where privacy is limited. For this reason, be sure to only enter low-risk data (information that the university has made available or published for the explicit use of the general public). All medium- and high-risk data is prohibited.
If you need a tool that enables you to use higher levels of data, see Ideas, Requests, and Oversight of AI at Cornell for next steps.
