I should have said - "be good actors in relation to how we handle your data."
According to the Windows GDPR statement (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/privacy/gdpr-it-guidance https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/privacy/gdpr-it-gui...), we only collect Windows functional data and Windows diagnostic data, and only if you allow us.
If we did more than that, we'd be liable for huge fines/jail! We have never "siphoned your data for multiple decades" - we only collect WHEN and ONLY WHEN you let us.
The way that our intentions haven't changes is because we are legally required to tell you if they do!
- tekknik 7y agoYou keep saying trust the GDPR, but what about us on the other side of the pond? GDPR gives us zero recourse if you do run afoul.
- yellowapple 7y agoI know a lot of people like to claim that the US is like the EU, but this is the first time I've heard someone claim that the US is literally in the EU. Less sarcastically: the GDPR is not applicable in the US, so hiding behind that does me no good. If your only defense is "but the GDPR doesn't let us do that!", then that's deeply concerning and only proves my point.
