A new report states that the US House of Representatives has banned its staff members from using Microsoft's Copilot AI assistant due to possible leaks "to non-House approved cloud services.
Few questions about that, unless they’re literally taking their model and putting it into your own box using it’s own compute power, I don’t see how that’s possible. They can call it “your” copilot all they want but if they’re reading your data and prompts and computing that on their own box then they’re using your data, right?
Major organizations use encryption where they hold the keys so Microsoft is unable to read their data. They can have thousands of servers running on Microsoft’s Azure stack and yet Microsoft is unable to read the data that is being processed.
I’m not an admin, but I do provision ms cloud licensing and have run across this question more than a few times. At the enterprise level, I’m told the copilot data is “walled off” and secure, and not harvested by MS. I have nothing to back that up, but that’s what I’m told. I’m certain if it weren’t true, I would have heard about it by now.

Thanks for the explanation
