Here’s what you can do to seal yourself off from all data collection in the new OS. But you might not want to.
Most of us use the free Gmail email service, which everyone knows sifts through the text of your emails to choose ads to display through DoubleClick or Google’s other advertising platforms. It turns out Microsoft, which launched Windows 10 as a free service, does pretty much the same thing.
It’s all clearly outlined in the Microsoft Privacy statement, which says that Redmond collects data when you “create a Microsoft account, submit a search query to Bing, speak a voice command to Cortana, upload a document to OneDrive, or contact us for support.”
