France’s government claims that Microsoft is collecting what it says is “excessive data” from Windows 10 PCs. The country’s National Data Protection Commission (CNIL) says it has given Microsoft three months to make changes that will comply with France’s data protection rules.
In a press release, the commission stated:
The CNIL found that the company was collecting diagnostic and usage data via its telemetry service, which uses such data, among other things, to identify problems and to improve products. To this purpose, Microsoft Corporation processes, for instance, Windows app and Windows Store usage data, providing information, among other things, on all the apps downloaded and installed on the system by a user and the time spent on each one. Therefore, the company is collecting excessive data, as these data are not necessary for the operation of the service.
