| What data does the Authenticator store on my behalf and how can I delete it? | The Microsoft Authenticator app collects three types of information:<ul><li>Account info you provide when you add your account. This data can be removed by removing your account.</li><li>Diagnostic log data that stays only in the app until you select **Send Logs** the app's **Help** menu to send logs to Microsoft. These log files contain personal data, like your email addresses (such as,
[email protected]), server or IP addresses, and device data (such as, device name and operating system version), with the personal data limited to info necessary to help troubleshoot app issues. You can view these log files in the app at any time to see the info being gathered. If you send the log files, the Authentication app engineers can use it to troubleshoot customer-reported issues.</li><li>Non-personally identifiable usage data, such "started add account flow/successfully added account," or "notification approved." This data is an integral part of our engineering decisions and helps us determine what features are important to you, and where improvements need to be made in the form of updates to the apps. You, as an app user, see a notification of this data collection on first launch of the app, and are informed that it can be turned off on the app's **Settings** page. You can enable or disable this setting at any time.</li></ul> |
