Microsoft's service agreement is a monstrous 12,000 words in length, about the size of a novella. And who reads those, right? Well, here's one excerpt from Microsoft's terms of use that you might want to read:

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.

Interesting. Can you show us the actual Microsoft document this comes from? I can't seem to find it.

The EULA, which appears during the Windows 10 setup, can also be read after the fact by clicking "Settings" in the Start menu, selecting "System" and then choosing the "About" option on the left. Clicking the link "Read the Microsoft Software License Terms" brings up the EULA.

The bit in brackets was put in there by the author deliberately to mislead, probably due to some agenda. As I've said, the article I posted a few pages ago has dealt with this.

Yes that was a good catch! I had thought (naively) that by only bolding the header in large print and adding the link directly below it that no one would have a hope in hell of discovering my obvious ruse and my blatant attempt to hide that information to further my conspiracy agenda.

And speaking of that ‘good catch’; reading it (from a contract law POV) should send shivers up one’s spine, unless of course, one’s personal data is already an open book.
