Microsoft reaffirms its commitment to protect and ensure our privacy in the use of Windows 10
Privacy... oh, that increasingly valued aspect and at the same time more difficult to achieve, among other reasons, if not the main one, due to the brutal irruption of the technology at all levels of life and in all social strata. Technology is useful, it has made us grow, but it has also put into question values that were previously assumed to be safe.
And computing, whether through computers, mobile phones, tablets... has a lot to say about it. Perhaps because thousands of threats slip through its holes, partly also due to sometimes very irresponsible use.The fact is that the big companies in the sector are increasingly taking care of, or at least, that's what they say publicly, about our privacy, something that Microsoft now reminds us of.
And it is that those of Redmond, as if they were our parents, have reminded us that yes, that they maintain their commitment to the privacy of users in Windows 10 , something that is not the first time that has been called into question.
It has been through the Windows Blog, in which and by the hand of Terry Myerson, Executive Vice President of the Windows Operating Systems and Devices Group, remind us that when using Windows 10 we can be sure that our privacy is not in jeopardy:
The text is very good, talking about love, security, trust... but how are these facts manifested? Because it has always been said that movement is demonstrated by walking.In this sense, Redmond has improved the aspects related to privacy in Windows 10, with a new panel that allows the user to know more efficiently and manage everything what happens around your data. Among them those related to browsing history, our searches, location and our activity or Cortana notes, to give just a few examples.
Some changes that we hope will increase with the arrival of the Creators Update, where for example the initial configuration will be improved by On the part of the user, the collection of diagnostic data will be reduced and optimized, going from three levels to only two and any changes that have to be made in terms of data related to privacy will be communicated through notices.
And having seen this statement, _do you think we can be safe using the technology that is available to us today or are you one of those who think we can't even trust our shadow?_
