Outlook: Updated work hours and location experience in the new Outlook for Windows and web
🚨 The Signal: Outlook's new work hours and location feature syncs across M365, including a new 'out-of-office' status. This enhances presence accuracy but could inadvertently reveal user location patterns, impacting privacy and operational security.
The Impact
All users are affected by increased location data sharing, posing a privacy risk if not managed.
- End Users: Location data shared more broadly, increasing privacy exposure.
- Security Team: New data points require privacy policy review and communication.
- Admins: Need to understand data flow for compliance and user education.
The Action
- Review existing privacy policies for location data handling.
- Communicate updated location sharing capabilities to end-users.
- Educate users on how to manage their work location and out-of-office settings.
