According to Microsoft, the data is anonymized and run through a virtual shredder before being sent. Here&amp;#x27;s their statement on it:&lt;p&gt;“Some of this data is stored on your device and some is sent to Microsoft to help improve these services. 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. I definitely recommend using Free Software only if you want to be absolutely sure of confidentiality.</text></comment>

Like you say, this isn&amp;#x27;t just about individual privacy concerns, it&amp;#x27;s about important legal obligations that people may unwittingly be violating if they use Windows 10.</text></comment>
