TyposquattingChecker description privacy statement missing
Johannes Goerlich The team will work on updating the Whitepaper. In the meantime, they provided the following information:
"The website typo protection checks all take place at the client level. When users choose to “dismiss” a warning for a given site, no more warnings will be shown for such site during that same browsing session. There’s no URL data stored by Microsoft or sent to Microsoft servers when performing a check."

MicrosoftJohannes Goerlich Hi! Just to confirm, were you referring to the Privacy Whitepaper document: Microsoft Edge Privacy Whitepaper - Microsoft Edge Development | Microsoft Learn missing the information? I want to make sure to reach out to the right folks on the team. Thanks!

Kelly_Y exactly, I'm referring to the one you linked. It has a section "Suggest similar sites" ("help resolve URL typos in the address bar") but nothing regarding the TypoSquattingChecker.
BR,
