Windows 10 is known to have themeprivacy protections. It doesn't matter if Microsoft acknowledges them or not, but due to the fact there are quite a few who refused to upgrade to the new OS just because the company collects too much information from its users' computers.
Microsoft claims to give users full control over the information they collect, but there are still a number of services that still operate and send data, despite these settings.
The company for this behavior reports that these services are only used to send data if it crashes an application on its servers and everything is encrypted. So for Microsoft your personal data is not compromised.
Joe Belfiore, VP of Microsoft, said in an interview at ComputerWorld that they do not violate the privacy of their users and that "the company collects information about its operating system in order to further improve it."
“Στην περίπτωση που γνωρίζουμε πότε συνετρίβη το σύστημά μας, ή πότε έχει σοβαρά problems απόδοσης, θα είναι τόσο χρήσιμο στην ανάπτυξη, και [ως εκ τούτου] δεν είναι θέμα της ιδιωτικής ζωής. Σήμερα, συλλέγουμε δεδομένα για να κάνουμε την καλύτερο εμπειρία για όλους,” ανέφερε ο Belfiore.
If you noted in the above statement, Belfiore states:
"In case we know when our system crashed" or in order not to get lost in the translation we quote the whole statement in English:
"In the case of knowing that our system that we've created (meaning of course the systems of each of us) is crashing, or is having serious performance problems, we view that as so helpful to the ecosystem, and [therefore] not an issue of personal privacy, that today, we collect that data so that we make that experience better for everyone”
So for those who have the illusion that their Windowss belong, they have to understand that the new operating system they bought belongs to Microsoft that has the right to use it for the development of its next systems.
Belfiore basically states that if users refuse to send data, they will have difficulty delivering updates that will make Windows 10 work smoother.
So doing the devil's advocate, why not ask the company with what right turns all those who have installed its new functional in beta testers?
Why are all Windows 10 users tracked when the Windows Insiders program still exists?
The final release of an operating system on the market should have passed the beta stage. No one pays for beta operating systems, or software.
Obviously, each of us needs to have the necessary options to disable the services that collect personal data, so the privacy problem continues to exist regardless of what Microsoft says.
