Data sent to Microsoft for product improvement is put through rigorous, multi-pass scrubs to remove sensitive or identifiable fields (such as email addresses, passwords and alphanumeric data) and strings are chopped into very small bits and stripped of sequence data to prevent the information from being identified or put back together.”&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;blog.laptopmag.com&amp;#x2F;windows-10-privacy-issues-exaggerated&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;blog.laptopmag.com&amp;#x2F;windows-10-privacy-issues-exaggera...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;It amazes me that this information isn&amp;#x27;t easier to find and I end up being the one defending Microsoft.
