We have a lot of users getting the Office Privacy option and we would like to disable this across board .
If possible how can we do this via GPO or the admin center for office desktop apps

@MVPromise *edit* You can use either Office Cloud Policy Service to control the privacy prompt https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployoffice/overview-office-cloud-policy-service
Or..
For Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise, formerly Office 365 ProPlus, you can use GPO for the new settings (diagnostics data and connected experiences). This page explains it all but I'm afraid you have to invest some time if not already familiar with these https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployoffice/privacy/manage-privacy-controls
When you manage these settings for your users they won't be prompted.

@ChristianBergstrom Hi, so do I need to enable a particular option in that policy or just create a policy with one of the options set for it to bypass the prompt?
Thanks,
Mike

@mike_robertson Hey, I noticed the doc is updated since I used it so have a look here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployoffice/privacy/manage-privacy-controls#dialog-about-optional-...
For the record we did allow these (users can opt out) but as we configured this specific policy the users did not get prompted when being updated from 1902 to 1908 (introduced in 1904). I even had this verified by Microsoft support as they also did some testing. It was important that 10 000+ users didn't get prompted.
