Data, terms and conditions when accessing learning content

  • 4 minutes

What data is stored in Viva Learning?

Viva Learning tracks and stores these data:

  • Course catalog data, also called learning object content metadata, such as title, description, author, and language
  • User data, such as bookmarks, recently viewed, recommended courses, assigned courses, and completion records
  • Required service data, such as error logs
  • Diagnostic data usage

Note

Admins can turn off diagnostic data.

As you see in Unit 4, when Viva Learning integrates with external sources, data flows only from the external sources to Viva Learning. These external sources include supported learning management systems and third-party content providers. Course catalogs and learners’ completion records get passed from external sources to Viva Learning. Viva Learning doesn't send data to its connected external resources.

Viva Learning data residency is tenant-specific and follows the standard Microsoft 365 data storage guidelines by available geography. For more information, see Where is my Microsoft 365 customer data stored.
