Data-use posture
Not used to train the provider's models
Additionally, prompts and completions are not used to train, retrain, or improve the base models.
Provider may log prompts for abuse monitoring
The abuse monitoring data store where prompts and completions are stored for human review is logically separated by customer resource (each request includes the resource ID of the customer's Foundry resource).
Provider may store flagged prompts and completions for human abuse review, and does not publish a maximum retention period; does not apply if your deployment is approved for modified or zero abuse monitoring
The value of 'false' for the 'ContentLogging' attribute appears only if data storage for abuse monitoring is turned off. Otherwise, this property will not appear in either Azure portal or Azure CLI's output.
