Posted 05/08/16 08:21 AM Share Posted 05/08/16 08:21 AM Microsoft you m*therf..... the Windows 10 slurp is spreading. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/08/04/microsoft_adds_enterprise_products_to_its_privacy_policy/ Microsoft has updated its privacy policy and, for the first time, added a section devoted to “Enterprise Products.” That includes subscription products like “Office 365, Microsoft Azure, Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online, Microsoft Intune, and Yammer”, which Microsoft classifies as “Online Services”. The policy also covers “Windows Server, SQL Server, Visual Studio, and System Center”, which Redmond calls “On-Prem Products”. So what's in the policy? Redmond says its Online services collect “all text, sound, video, or image files, and software, that are provided to Microsoft by, or on behalf of, you or your end users through use of the Online Service.” But that data “is used only to provide the customer the Online Services including purposes compatible with providing those services.” “Microsoft will not use Customer Data or derive information from it for any advertising or similar commercial purposes.” But there are also traps for the unwary, such as admins who “include contact information of your colleagues and friends” when establishing their accounts. If you give up your mates' details, Microsoft will use the data “for the limited purpose of sending them an invitation to use the Online Services”, possibly including “information about you, such as your name and profile photo.” “We may also contact you regarding third-party inquiries we receive regarding use of the Online Services, as described in your agreement. You will not be able to unsubscribe from these non-promotional communications.” I can understand the online stuff like Office 365 as that's on M$ infrastructure but on-premises stuff like Windows Server and SQL Server, how the hell do they expect to get away with this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have avoided windoze 10 upgrade because of warnings from various teckies at the beginning of the rollout. You really have to ask the question, why after all these years of taking your cash is the next new operating system free? Sounds like a conspiracy theory to me.

I dont care what anyone says, apple, microsoft, facebook the lot of them share information with authorities without warrants....of course they try and act like this isn't the case but nope. this is 2016, if the data is there, it's damn well being mined. I hate it! they also love putting up facades such as the whole thing with data being stored by microsoft in ireland being out of reach of the USA. all lies to make people 'trust' them.

That's a best case as well, as you say it's likely they already pass info on fairly easily. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a saying "If the product is free, you are the product" hence why M$ now collects so much data, it's all about advertising these days, also why they specifically ask in one question at setup, about allowing applications to use your advertising ID. Advertising is the single reason why Facebook is worth so much and the main reason Google makes roughly $60 billion per year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
