I don't think, I have to explain that your stance on privacy is not the norm, at all, and that other people can very realistically have a different stance, i.e. a major problem with Microsoft (and the NSA and whoever else is involved) sifting through all of their data. As for the part in their Privacy Statement (https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-us/privacystatement/ https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-us/privacystatement/), which boils down to that, it's this section: "Finally, we will access, transfer, disclose, and preserve personal data, including your content (such as the content of your emails in Outlook.com, or files in private folders on OneDrive), when we have a good faith belief that doing so is necessary to: 1. comply with applicable law or respond to valid legal process, including from law enforcement or other government agencies; 2. protect our customers, for example to prevent spam or attempts to defraud users of our products, or to help prevent the loss of life or serious injury of anyone; 3. operate and maintain the security of our products, including to prevent or stop an attack on our computer systems or networks; or 4. protect the rights or property of Microsoft, including enforcing the terms governing the use of the services - however, if we receive information indicating that someone is using our services to traffic in stolen intellectual or physical property of Microsoft, we will not inspect a customer's private content ourselves, but we may refer the matter to law enforcement." "Access, transfer, disclose, and preserve" is what I summarized as "complete access", as that is everything you can do with data, except maybe destroy it, but that doesn't make much sense in a privacy-context. And then "when we have a good faith belief that doing so is necessary", that's the part where you sign away the rights for Microsoft to do that whenever the fuck they want. I mean, they list a few points, for what it would be necessary, so you might be able to make a case in court, that Microsoft could never have had that good faith belief for one of those points, but then one of those points is "protect the [...] property of Microsoft". And without a doubt would Microsoft have a good faith belief that selling your personal data is necessary to protect their property.
