Specifically do they, but not "Can they" only because I'm fully aware that they are, and always have been, capable of intruding on any/all personal/sensitive data that isn't encrypted on a local drive or removable hard drive. I'm fairly new to the encrypted data area, as well as storing data in the cloud. I'm just trying to understand this personal vault on OneDrive, better. If they find something that is against their policy, do they freeze your account permanently.. and what contact authorities? Say they found something regarding fraud for instance.. (just to understand the process better, purely for academic purposes, of course.) ..as, in this scenario, I am indeed discussing personal/family data, from a household of decent people trying to protect data such as social security, tax info, etc, commonplace files that would need privacy/protection from non-family members, outsiders, etc.

If they can, then they would be required to do so in response to a warrant or subpoena, which means as a practical matter they do, at least on occasion. Is your question whether this is routine and whether they are explicitly searching for unacceptable content?
