Policy overview
Key metadata and intent for this policy.
Supported OS tags: Windows10, Windows10RT, Windows11, WindowsServer2016
This policy is deprecated and will only work on Windows 10 version 1809. Setting this policy will have no effect for other supported versions of Windows. AllowCommercialDataPipeline configures an Azure Active Directory joined device so that Microsoft is the processor of the Windows diagnostic data collected from the device, subject to the Product Terms at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2185086. To enable this behavior: 1. Enable this policy setting 2. Join an Azure Active Directory account to the device Windows diagnostic data is collected when the Allow Telemetry policy setting is set to value 1 - Required or above. Configuring this setting does not change the Windows diagnostic data collection level set for the device. If you disable or do not configure this setting, Microsoft will be the controller of the Windows diagnostic data collected from the device and processed in accordance with Microsoft's privacy statement at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=521839 unless you have enabled policies like 'Allow Update Compliance Processing' or 'Allow Desktop Analytics Processing'. See the documentation at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2011107 for information on this and other policies that will result in Microsoft being the processor of Windows diagnostic data.
