We have two news for you. The bad news is that Windows 10 does collect a lot of information about users. And the good news is that now there is a special service on which this information can be viewed and deleted.

Microsoft, of course, is far from alone in its quest to collect as much information as possible about its users. However, until recently, they tried not to advertise this process too much, which caused justified fears of consumers.

A new tool called "Your Privacy" is designed to dispel the spyware image of Windows 10. It can help you find out what information Microsoft collects and for what purposes. But the most important thing is to view the existing data with the possibility of deleting it.

At Microsoft, we believe that giving you the controls and information you need to make informed decisions is the first priority to protecting your privacy. On this website, you can manage privacy settings for the Microsoft products and services you use, and view and clear the data that Microsoft stores in the cloud.

All information is divided into several tabs. Particular attention should be paid to the "Search" and "Location" sections, which contain the history of your searches and movements, respectively. But the sections related to the Cortana voice assistant are almost empty, since this feature is not yet available in our region. Maybe it's for the best?

The life hacker hopes that the Your Privacy service will be useful to all users who really want to figure out what information the “corporation of evil” collects about you (just kidding). So bookmark this page and check back often.
