Privacy Pal’s basic setting: No Ads
Microsoft stores your personal data to allow firms to create more targeted ads. Privacy Pal’s basic privacy setting prevents this by automatically:
- Disabling your advertising ID tracker
- Switching off pop-ups in the Microsoft Store and Explorer page
- Turning off Bluetooth advertising
Privacy Pal’s enhanced setting: Control your apps
Pre-installed and download apps from the Windows store can often access sensitive areas like your camera, microphone, emails, messages, location and account details. Privacy Pal’s enhanced setting also:
- Gives you control over what info each app can collect
- Removes chat logs, notably from Skype, preventing Microsoft from keeping a history of your private chats and calls.
Privacy Pal’s personalized setting: Data harvesting
By default, your PC sends Microsoft data on your location, browsing history, contacts and calendar records. If you use Cortana your voice and typed commands may also be sent to the cloud. This setting lets you:
- Control what Microsoft knows
- Prevent Cortana from collecting your voice commands
