The price of free: how Apple, Facebook, Microsoft and Google sell you to advertisers | PCWorldhttps://www.pcworld.com/article/2986988/the-price-of-free-how-apple-facebook-microsoft-and-google-sell-you-to-advertisers.htmlWhat information does Microsoft collect? Microsoft also does a good job comprehensively spelling out what information it collects: name and contact data, credentials, demographic data, payment data, and more. But don’t buy the line that Microsoft doesn’t read your email—the privacy policy states very clearly that it does. It not only reads the subject line and body of an email, but also the text or other content of an instant message, the audio and video recording of a video message, and the audio recording and transcript of a voice message you receive or a text message you dictate. It just doesn’t sell ads against it.

If you have the Windows Spotlight dynamic images feature enabled, you will see ads there too. In this article, we show you how you can opt out of these targeted ads.
