How does Microsoft’s data privacy policy work? Do my customers have the same privacy policy in this program as in Open, EA, Advisor, and MSPA?

Customers have the same data privacy protections regardless of how they purchase the service (e.g. if that be via Open, EA, or direct from Microsoft). All customers fall under the same privacy policy as outlined below. This means that customers own their data, can control their data, and their data is not used for advertising. Customers also need to understand the value and impact of their partner’s roles as global administrator for their service. For a deeper explanation about how Microsoft protects the privacy of customer data, visit the Microsoft Office 365 Trust Center

How are customer marketing services, communications and other notifications handled?

What goes to the partner and what is communicated directly to customers? Partners own the billing relationship with the customer and are responsible for communicating to their customers on their subscription, transaction, and status. Microsoft sends direct communications to customers as it relates to operating the service, such as providing important service incident information or how to get the most out of the capabilities provided by the service. In-product communications/notifications, such as in Message Center and service health information, will continue to appear within the customer’s own Microsoft Office 365 admin center.

What is the Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider program?

End-Customers are demanding that more and more of their IT solutions be deployed in the cloud. Industry analysts agree this trend will not only continue, but accelerate in the future.

The Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) program enables partners to directly manage the entire lifecycle for their Microsoft cloud customers including billing and support.
