note! Windows10 Technology Preview Disclaimer: All operations of the user will be recorded

The Windows 10 technology preview version just released, I believe that many friends have been unable to download the early adopters. The detailed privacy policy before installation is estimated to be rarely seen or even ignored directly. Now Xiaobian takes you to see what the content says!

“Thank you for choosing to participate in the pre-release program for our next version of Windows! The goal of this program is to enable you to provide usage data and feedback to Microsoft when trying out Microsoft's pre-release software and services.

With this "plan", you or your end users (if you represent an organization) can purchase, subscribe, or use other products and services from Microsoft or third parties with different privacy practices.

It’s a disclaimer. If you continue to install, Microsoft will think that you have read and agreed to get all your usage data, but different from the general user experience improvement plan, this time it gets More information.

“To run effectively and provide you with the best products, services, and experiences as much as possible, Microsoft will collect a variety of information in a variety of ways. We may combine this data with information associated with your user ID, such as information contained in a Microsoft account.

Are you amazing? This is simply that someone standing behind you looks at you like a computer, and even the contents of the open file know it. At first glance, Microsoft seems to do all this to better improve the user experience, but Microsoft has more details in it.

“Microsoft uses the data we collect from “Program" to run, improve, and personalize this "plan" and other Microsoft products and services. Some data is stored on your device and some data is transferred to Microsoft. Microsoft will share certain data with our partners to improve the way they use their products and services with Microsoft products and services. For example, we use your contact information to contact you to inform you about “plan", updates, and related products and services. We use the information about your preferences to configure the “plan" function. For example, we use information about your interests to help improve the relevance of the ads that are shown to you, and use your voice data to improve speech recognition. ”

Microsoft will also share the information collected with his partners. Who are his partners? Does NSA count?

“We will share the data with your consent and will be required to complete any transaction or provide any services you request or authorize. For example, when you use “schedule> to share your content with third parties (such as when you share photos and documents on OneDrive, or link your account to another service), we'll do this. When you provide payment data for purchase, we will share payment data with banks and other entities that can process payment transactions or other financial services and use them to prevent fraud and reduce credit risk. We will share with the third party some of the data collected during the connection to “Program". For example, we can share performance data for that component with the manufacturer of specific hardware or software components on the device, enabling them to improve the way they use their components with Microsoft products and services. We may share or disclose information about you to other subsidiaries or affiliates controlled by Microsoft and to suppliers or agents acting on our behalf. For example, companies that we hire to provide customer service support or help protect the security of our systems and services may need access to personal information in order to provide these features. In these cases, these companies must comply with our data privacy requirements and do not allow the information to be used for any other purpose. We may also disclose your information as part of a corporate transaction, such as a merger or asset sale.

Finally, we can do this if we believe it is necessary to access, disclose and retain information about you for the following purposes:

1. Comply with applicable laws or comply with competent authorities Effective legal process (including law enforcement or other government agencies).

2. Protect customers, such as preventing spam from being sent to Microsoft customers or attempting to commit fraud, or helping to prevent harm to someone or seriously harming someone.

4.Protecting Microsoft's rights and property rights, including enforcement Terms of Use for Management Services - However, if we receive information indicating that someone is using our products or services to illegally trade stolen intellectual property or physical property in Microsoft, we will not check the customer's private content ourselves, but will The problem is submitted to the law enforcement department. & rdquo;

It seems that this information and identity are not separated, Microsoft has clearly know who did what. This time, copyright protection issues can be resolved for individual users.

"Microsoft is committed to protecting the security of your personal information. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help prevent unauthorized access, use or disclosure of your personal information. For example, we store the personal information you provide on a computer system that is restricted from access and located within a controlled facility. When highly confidential information, such as credit card numbers or passwords, is transmitted over the Internet, it is protected using encryption (Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol). If you use passwords to help protect your account and personal information, you are responsible for keeping your passwords confidential. Do not share this password. If you share a computer with others, you should always log out before leaving the site or service to prevent subsequent users from accessing your information.

Microsoft abides by the US and EU Safe Harbor Framework and the US and Swiss Safe Harbor Framework as set forth by the US Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of data from the European Economic Area and Switzerland. "

I have a responsibility to protect my password, but what is the significance of Win10's comprehensive recording of every keyboard stroke I have? When using the Windows 10 Technology Preview, it is almost impossible to avoid Microsoft's monitoring of this, unless we break the network. Moreover, even after the network is disconnected, the relevant data is still being collected continuously, but it is temporarily stored locally. In order not to allow it to be automatically uploaded, it can only be maintained at this state of disconnection. How many people can persist in this way? Fortunately, this technology preview will expire on April 15 next year. Xiaobian first reminds everyone, when the official version of Windows 10 comes out, be sure to read the privacy statement carefully.
