Here's the exact wording from Windows Defender settings:
"Get better, faster protection by sending Microsoft information about potential security problems Windows Defender finds"
The 'Privacy Statement' underneath links here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/preview-privacy-statement http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/preview-privacy-s... (and yes, this was a Windows 8.1 -> 10 upgrade, not a tech preview install).
Under 'Data We Collect', the third bullet point:
"when you open a file, we may collect information about the file, the application used to open the file, and how long it takes to use it for purposes such as improving performance (e.g. to help retrieve documents more quickly)"
Note, I have 'Cloud-based protection' disabled and I'm still getting (near daily) definition updates, so the two definitely are not related.
