This policy setting configures Office Telemetry Agent to disguise, or obfuscate, certain file properties that are reported in telemetry data. If you enable this policy setting, Office Telemetry Agent obfuscates the file name, file path, and title of Office documents before uploading telemetry data to the shared folder. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, Office Telemetry Agent uploads telemetry data that shows the full file name, file path, and title of all Office documents.
