In December, an investigation by Tom's Hardware found that Recall frequently captured sensitive information in its screenshots, including credit card numbers and Social Security numbers — even though its "filter sensitive information" setting was supposed to prevent that from happening.

I have a strong suspicion that they’re capturing screenshots & data, whether you have recall enabled or not, and that’s why the performance on Windows 11 is so drastically worse. Turning on Recall probably just turns on users visibility, or some additional digestion of the data.
