Voici quelques extraits des différentes politiques régissant l’utilisation de Windows 10. C’est assez effrayant mais pas nouveau ! Cela existait, en partie, bien avant Windows 10.
”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 protect our customers or enforce the terms governing the use of the services."
"Cortana is your personal assistant. Cortana works best when it can learn about you and your activities by using data from your device, your Microsoft account, third-party services and other Microsoft services. To enable Cortana to provide personalized experiences and relevant suggestions, Microsoft collects and uses various types of data, such as your device location, data from your calendar, the apps you use, data from your emails and text messages, who you call, your contacts and how often you interact with them on your device"
"Microsoft regularly collects basic information about your Windows device including usage data, app compatibility data, and network and connectivity information. This data is transmitted to Microsoft and stored with one or more unique identifiers that can help us recognize an individual user on an individual device and understand the device’s service issues and use patterns."
"If you open a file, we may collect information about the file, the application used to open the file, and how long it takes any use [of] it for purposes such as improving performance, or [if you] enter text, we may collect typed characters, we may collect typed characters and use them for purposes such as improving autocomplete and spellcheck features.”
Malheureusement, 99% des utilisateurs ne lisent pas les licences d’utilisation des logiciels qu’ils installent comme le prouve cette expérience réalisée par F-Secure http://safeandsavvy.f-secure.com/2014/09/29/danger-of-public-wifi/. Dans cette expérience, les personnes souhaitant utiliser le réseau Wi-Fi devait d’abord accepter une politique d’utilisation contenant une clause indiquant qu’ils devaient «donner le premier né de la famille ou leur animal préféré» en échange de l’utilisation du réseau Wi-Fi et ils acceptait la politique d’utilisation.
