How should Windows 10 respect your privacy?
By deciding which unwanted functions should be deactivated, and giving you full control over which comfort functions under Windows 10 you wish to use.
Windows 10, gives users the easiest possible daily experience, and in doing so very rarely forces you, to actually read and confirm a security notice. Unfortunately, this simplified approach from Microsoft means much more data is passed onto them, than many users would like.
Microsoft uses most data, to display personalized information to you, that is aimed at making your computer life easier. As an example, Windows 10 can remind you to set off to the airport 30 minutes earlier due to road traffic. In order to deliver this information to you, Windows 10 has to access your calendar entries, your mails, your location and it has to have access to the internet to get traffic news.
Some services protocol your entire keyboard entries, share your connection data with your Facebook contacts or connect your computer without asking permission to a public network. While this means that you and your contacts do not have to grapple with complicated connection passwords, it also poses a significant security risk.
