You must adhere to all applicable privacy regulations. For example, collecting personal information from children triggers obligations under privacy laws that exceed those applicable to collecting information from adults.
Your application needs to have a privacy statement. This statement should cover what data you are collecting, what you will be doing with that data, and who you'll be sharing it with. Your privacy statement needs to be prominently linked off a main menu in your application.
You need to include the following in your privacy statement:

- To defame, abuse, harass, stalk, threaten, or otherwise violate the legal rights of others. See the Microsoft Terms of Use for more details on prohibited uses of Embedded Social.

If this Developer Code of Conduct is not followed, Microsoft reserves the right, at its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so, to review and remove content and to terminate your application’s access to the Embedded Social features.
