Does Microsoft Translator app sign a BAA?

The free Microsoft Translator apps and Bing Translator are consumer products, and Microsoft says it records some of their voice clips and text translations. Microsoft's BAA comes through its commercial agreements, and no page puts the consumer apps under it. BAA availability is unknown. The BAA-covered route is Azure AI Translator.

Free consumer apps (iOS, Android, Windows, Bing, Edge)Not confirmedNot statedMicrosoft's BAA comes by default through the commercial Product Terms and DPA for in-scope services. The free Translator apps, Translator for Bing and Edge are consumer products that record some translations, unlike Azure Translator. The apps page lists no app-specific terms and does not mention HIPAA. Microsoft never states that it refuses a BAA here, so the verdict is unknown rather than no.[1],[2],[3]

Are the AI features covered?

Vendors often sign a BAA for the core product but leave some AI features out. Here is what Microsoft says about each one.
