Hi,

With all the talk of privacy lately, its got me thinking about Office (2016). Are my documents secure on my Mac, or does MicroSoft have a peek?
 
If you are using it in standalone mode, and you keep all your files locally, then no. If you are in a corporate O365 environment, then their security team might have a CASB and other tools to track user behaviour. You will have no expectation of privacy.
