Title: Windows 10 users - this is a MUST READ
Post by: Shambles on November 28, 2015, 08:19:14

They're at it again...

Quote from: Microsoft

Examples of data we collect include your name, email address, preferences and interests; browsing, search and file history; phone call and SMS data; device configuration and sensor data; and application usage.

Switch it off, would be my recommendation

Quote from: The Register

The sinister-sounding tracking app was now the beatific and caring “Connected User Experiences and Telemetry Service”. Once again, it needs to be disabled manually (this time through the Services control panel).

Being an insider I knew about the name change but I agree Microsoft should have placed an obvious option for people to disable if they wished, now you just have to convince your IP - Browser - Search engine  and Anti-virus to not collect your data either :winker:
