Privacy is a far more serious concern than most people realize. Personal data could be used to steal your identity & your money. It could also allow malicious people to track you or your loved ones and find opportune moments to do harm. Or on a simple level, it could be used to publicize information you just do not want to be public. In an age where giving up your private info grants you access to some very helpful services & apps, it can seem impossible to protect that data. It is possible though. We’ve compiled a list of key services & apps that help you do just that.
If You are Not Paying, You are The Product! Which is somewhat true, since Windows 10 is a free upgrade for Windows 7 and 8 users, Microsoft needs to find a way to generate income, thus the best way to do that is to monitor the behavior of the users – anonymously. Since Windows has a large installation pool base, tracking which domain is popular means making the Bing search engine better. Since Microsoft is forbidden by law to track a person personally, these data are collected anonymously, thus no harm allowing them to do so. Possible problems when using these tools.
