You can remove Recall from Windows if you do not want it

Microsoft is set to reintroduce its AI feature, Recall, in October as part of Windows 11 version 24H2. Initially launched in May, Recall was designed to take screenshots every five seconds, raising privacy concerns due to its default activation and inadequate security measures. Following backlash, Microsoft suspended the feature two weeks later to enhance its security and functionality. The upcoming version will be opt-in, allowing users to choose whether to enable it. Additionally, a recent update (KB5041865) will enable users to uninstall Recall from their systems, a change from the previous options of blocking or deactivating it. This uninstallation feature is accessible through the installed features window in Windows settings. However, it remains unclear if this option will be available to users outside the European Union. The company aims to address privacy and security issues while providing users with more control over the feature.
