Microsoft Viva Insights is designed with privacy at its core. Employee trust is essential, and our implementation approach prioritizes transparency, control, and data protection at every step.
Viva Insights is built on privacy principles that protect individual employee data while enabling organizational insights.
Manager and leader insights use aggregated, de-identified data requiring minimum group sizes to prevent individual identification.
Employees control their personal insights and can opt out. Personal data is only visible to the individual employee.
Administrators control which features are enabled, minimum group sizes for aggregation, and data retention policies.
