However, back then, and yesterday in its renewed privacy impact analyses, the Privacy Company Dutch have introduced a little challenge for Dutch governmental organization, because they feel Microsoft had not yet made sufficient changes to Office for the Web to guarantee the level of privacy needed: On July 1st, 2019, the Dutch Minister of Justice and Safety and the Minister of Internal Affairs and Kingdom Relationships, have sent a letter to the Dutch Parliament Dutch, declaring that Office 365, Windows 10 and Azure are safe to use for Dutch Governmental organizations under the Dutch interpretation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR, EU 2016/679).

It allows people to view and interact with documents in their web browser, without the need to install or use any of the native Microsoft 365 apps. Office for the Web (previously known as Office Web Apps) is one of the nicest features in Microsoft 365.
