The Windows 10 Creators Update is a significant step forward, but by no means the end of our journey," said Marisa Rogers, WDG Privacy Officer, in a blog post.

Users will be able to access more information as well as review and delete data that the company collects via the Microsoft privacy dashboard. Microsoft will bring voice data to this dashboard, so users can review data that improves Cortana's ability to naturally respond to user's requests.
