I didn’t delve into it very far, but on the surface it seemed like a bunch of stuff for employees performance metrics. I don’t care too much because I don’t do anything non-work related on my work pc, so if the boss could see I spent 2 hours researching something in Edge I wouldn’t mind - but if it combined my home pc Edge browsing behaviour or some personal documents prepared in Word, because my Office software was linked to a company email address, I’d be concerned.
I don’t keep or do any personal stuff on my work pc. If I am on, say, Calgarypuck, I use my phone and do it on my own data plan.
Maybe none of that is possible and I am just being paranoid. I wouldn’t want to risk it just to get some free software though. OpenOffice is pretty decent and you can find OEM licenses of some older Office software on Amazon for a good deal. I personally prefer the non-cloud based Office whee it wasn’t pestering you about using OneDrive whenever you wanted to create new documents or spreadsheets.

Those performance metrics are per app, and they only track if someone is actually using the apps, not what they're doing with them
