Share How you Use Office PopUp - How can I turn this off?

Hi,

unable to see the screenshot.

Kind Regards:

Office 365 for Mac - updated to version 16.13

Every time I open Word or Excel, system asks me if I want to share data.  There is no option to say no.  (see below)

Note that whenever I update my MacOS, if there is a question about whether I want to share data, I can say no.  When I say NO then I never see that message again.

WIth Office 365, I now get a pop-up every time I open Word or Excel.  There is no option to say no I do not want to share data.

I checked my privacy and security settings in preferences for Word, Excel, and Powerpoint.  I was amazed and horrified to find that there are only two options - Full diagnostic data or basic diagnostic data.  There is no option to say no.  Full diagnostic was checked, I changed this to basic. The popups still appear every time I open Word or Excel.

Here are my questions.

1.  How can I stop the pop up from appearing?
2.  How can I preserve my privacy and stop data from being sent at all - in other words, where is the NO option (Apple provides a NO option for my Mac and also for my iOS devices).

Hello, Optimist93

We hope that you take into account your suggestion that they add an option to say NO (no, I do not want to share data)

I hope you have a happy day

I contacted technical support.  They gave the usual - Try it, you'll like it approach.  They wanted me to uninstall/reinstall Office on my MAC.

Note that it is never necessary to do anything that drastic on a Mac.

I asked them to add an option to say NO (no I do not want to share data) and they just said they will make a note of the problem.

When I update my MacOS, sometimes there is a pop-up asking me if I want to share data.  There is always an option to say no.  I am asked the question once and then I never see that question again.

So it looks like I either have to leave Word and Excel open all the time or just have to close that annoying pop up every time I open Word and Excel.

Thanks for trying to find a solution.

Hi, Optimist93

Since your computer is a MAC, I recommend you contact Microsoft technical support, they will put you in touch with an agent specialized in office 365
