All of the Copilot features in Notepad require manual interaction. When you click the button, there's a menu with options like "Rewrite", "Summarize", "Make shorter", "Make longer", etc., which either operate on the current selection or the entire document. How exactly that's implemented is obviously speculation, but most likely it will only send your data to Microsoft when you actually activate one of these functions. In fact, none of them even work without an active Copilot Plus subscription (I've tried). There is no free tier here, if try to use any of these features without a subscription, you'll just get prompted to sign up for one.

Also, the entire thing can be easily turned off from the settings panel.
