To proceed, Long View Systems requires your consent for read-only access to telemetry and entitlement data. This allows us to understand how licenses are being used across your organization—without accessing any content or personal files. By analyzing usage patterns and license assignments, we can identify opportunities to reduce costs, optimize resources, and ensure every license is serving a purpose.
CLEAR uses an Azure AD App Registration to read Microsoft 365 usage and directory telemetry through Microsoft Graph. The permissions granted allow access to:
Usage and activity reports for workloads such as Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, and Copilot
License assignment information
Basic directory attributes needed for reporting (e.g., UPN, department, location)
Long View does not access or process email content, files, chat messages, meeting recordings, or any customer documents.
The data is used solely to deliver Long View's SYNC Up services:
CLEAR Vision provides ongoing Microsoft 365 usage, adoption, and optimization analytics via a Power BI dashboard
CLEAR Path produces detailed optimization reporting with recommended action items and spend analysis
Please contact your Long View Licensing Specialist or Account Manager if you are unsure which of these is applicable to you.
Data is never used for marketing, resale, or any purpose unrelated to Microsoft 365 licensing optimization
All data processed by CLEAR is stored only within Long View’s Microsoft 365 tenant, using Power BI, OneDrive, and SharePoint. Security is enforced through:
Microsoft 365 encryption at rest and in transit
Azure AD access controls and role‑based permissions
Dedicated, isolated workspaces for each customer
No third‑party storage or external databases
No stored credentials—CLEAR uses Azure AD OAuth and service principals
If the access is revoked by disabling or deleting the App Registration, CLEAR immediately loses the ability to retrieve or refresh data. Historical reports and datasets are retained for the duration of the managed services relationship in order to provide the best service possible, but will be deleted upon request.
