Send Error Information to Microsoft

What this feature does:    Send error information allows the application to collect and send client-side logs to Microsoft to help investigate application errors that may be encountered. Type of events which generate a client side error include interrupted dataflow between the app and the service and internal application errors.

Information collected, processed, or transmitted:    When send error information is enabled information such as error code and error occurrence time stamp is logged. The application will check once in a 24 hour period for error log data; if error log data exists the application will send error information to Microsoft. The user’s domain name is included in the error information sent to Microsoft. No personally identifiable information is sent to Microsoft.

Use of information:    The information contained in the send error information report is used by Microsoft to identify common application errors and to help improve the Office 365 Admin app user experience.
