Windows 10 Doesn’t comply with Dutch Regulations according to its regulators

To comply with the law, the DPA states that Microsoft requires getting valid user consent this indicates the company must be open about what data is gathered and how that data is treated. The governor also complains that the Windows 10 Creators Update doesn’t perpetually respect previously chosen perspectives about data collection. In the Creators Update, Microsoft added new, clearer expression about the data collected through this language still wasn’t specific about what was received and why and it required everyone to re-assert their isolation choices through a new settings page. In unusual situations, though, that page defaulted to the regular Windows options rather than defaulting to the environments previously chosen.

In the Creators Update, Microsoft also explicitly mentioned all the data collected in Windows 10’s “Basic” telemetry setting. However, the business has not done so for the “Full” possibility, and the Full option continues the default.

The Windows 10 privacy choices continue to be a struggle in progress for Microsoft. The Fall Creators Update, due for freedom on October 17, makes further variances to the way the operating system and requests collect data and the permission required to do so. Microsoft says that it will work with the DPA to “find suitable solutions” to ensure that Windows 10 complies with the law. However, in its complete response to the DPA’s findings, Microsoft objects with some of the DPA’s objections. Inaccurate, the company claims that its revelation surrounding the Full telemetry setting both in terms of what it collects and why is enough and that users are competent of making informed decisions.
