There has been much criticism towards Microsoft and its operating system, Windows 10, regarding privacy and the abusive data collection it performs by default on the device.
In the new Windows update 10, llamada Creators Update, Microsoft has created levels of data collection that can be configured by the user. These levels will be detailed in a clear and understandable way so that any user knows what information is being sent to Microsoft services.
According to internal sources at Microsoft, they are still working on publishing a series of documents detailing what information will be collected and for what purpose.
Este movimiento se produce tras las serias advertencias de países europeos como Francia, que ordenó a Microsoft dejar de rastrear a los usuarios que usaban Windows 10 en territorio galo.
La Unión Europea también ha dado el toque de atención a Microsoft, advirtiéndoles que deben cumplir con la Regulación de Protección de Datos de la UE.
