Windows 10 and Privacy  

Microsoft has come under fire from privacy campaigners for collecting information from private files, e-mails and address books owned by its users.

Individuals’ speech, handwriting and typing habits are also being collected, as are call logs, the names of people listed in calendar appointments and information about what people buy online.

An article in the Register reports, '"Microsoft basically grants itself very broad rights to collect everything you do, say and write with and on your devices in order to sell more targeted advertising or to sell your data to third parties," the privacy warriors at European Digital Rights told the FT on Monday.'

The Register's article has a guide explaining how to configure Windows 10 to change privacy options to make the Operating System more secure.
