I need help on Azure AI services, for setting up RAGs, and using other AI services. specially ensuring privacy of data

Hi, Absolutely: this means you’re trying to set up privacy-preserving RAG on Azure, and you’re on the right path.

Here's a quick summary: deploy Azure OpenAI, AI Search, and Azure Storage all behind private endpoints, disable public access, and link everything inside a single VNet with private DNS.

Use AI Search hybrid search (vector + keyword + re-rank) to retrieve data and inject top chunks into Azure OpenAI via prompt. Keep RBAC strict (use managed identity), store secrets in Key Vault, and strip PII in your app layer.

Azure won’t use your data for training, and content logging can be disabled. To build: deploy the services, assign RBAC (e.g., Search Contributor), index your content with vector fields + metadata (like group access), and query via a hybrid pipeline.

If you need per-user filtering, use AI Search security filters with Entra group IDs. Use Foundry SDK or your preferred stack (LangChain, Semantic Kernel) to integrate everything.

For production, enable diagnostics, alerting, and wrap your service behind API Management or Front Door.

If you share your data residency, identity model, network setup, scale, and SDK/language preferences, I can provide a full IaC template (Bicep/Terraform), a Python/.NET sample app, and a privacy checklist aligned to your compliance.

I need absolute confirmation that underlying model or openai etc. Even though Azure will not use the data, but If I have to use openai model api Is it confirmed that underlying model api will also confirm that data is never used for training

Hi Admin_Suresh Mali

You can opt out default Data retention period of 30 days by justifying use case on advanced abuse monitoring form, but it Prioritized for managed customer.

You can contact sales team to use managed customer
