DISTROY WINDOWS 10 SPYING – Privacy Concerns<\/h1>\n

\"Microsoft<\/p>\n

As we all know since windows 7 Microsoft has altered its operating system to be more user friendly and at the same time collect more user data on its customers, When windows 8 was launched , there were big changes including location platform and many more but now with the new Windows 10 release there are endless limitations on the collection of data being sent to Microsoft.<\/h3>\n

Some group has released a piece of software which eliminates all apps, and blocks the data from being sent to Microsoft. I will not comment much on the software but see below what it does block<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Also a new app by the name of DoNotSpy10<\/u><\/span>\u00a0has been\u00a0created by a German developer pXc-coding.<\/p>\n

Destroy Windows 10 Spying is an app that can block anonymous data being sent, remove apps that can\u2019t be removed the standard way and more. I liked that it can remove some of the Windows default programs that can’t be removed under Apps & Features, an annoyance I immediately discovered since I prefer to \u201cslim\u201d down windows.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I should note that there are still a few steps to complete,\u00a0you\u2019ll still need to go online to Microsoft\u2019s site and opt out of the company\u2019s\u00a0invasive advertising tracking features when using DoNotSpy10 or other piece of software.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s your own fault if you don\u2019t know that Windows 10 is spying on you.<\/em> That\u2019s what people always say when users fail to read through a company\u2019s terms of service document, right?<\/p>\n

Well, here is\u00a0Microsoft\u2019s 12,000-word service agreement<\/span><\/u><\/a>. Some of it is probably in English. We\u2019re pretty sure it says you can\u2019t steal Windows or use Windows to send spam, and also that Microsoft retains the right to take possession of your first-born child if it so chooses. And that\u2019s only one of several documents you\u2019ll have to read through.<\/p>\n

Actually, here\u2019s one excerpt\u00a0from Microsoft\u2019s privacy statement<\/span><\/u><\/a>\u00a0that everyone can understand:<\/p>\n

Finally, we will access, disclose and preserve personal data, including your content (such as the content of your emails, other private communications or files in private folders), 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 the services, or to help prevent the loss of life or serious injury of anyone; 3.operate and maintain the security of our services, 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 \u2013 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\u2019s private content ourselves, but we may refer the matter to law enforcement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If that sentence sent shivers\u00a0down your spine, don\u2019t worry. As invasive as it is, Microsoft does allow Windows 10 users to opt out of all of the features that might be considered invasions of privacy.
