...by not living in a cave.

Seriously, everyone is collecting data on what we do. Internet: free email providers, search engines, websites, banks, credit checking agencies, govt depts,
private & govt owned companies, supermarkets, retailers, even your ph.

So yep, dont want to give away your privacy, then we need to live in a cave

Or do you actually agree that maybe it is still worth restricting your personal data disclosure where possible?

Certainly, there are many situations where leaving collectable data trails are unavoidable - using your own computer doesn't need to be one of them.

"February 16, 2016 A Message to Our Customers"

about maintaining your privacy and how fundamentally important that is:

mate, that horse has well & truly bolted. Using your computer on the internet , is a guarantee of data collection.
Saying it doesnt need to be wont change that fact that it actually is .

So if anyone is truly concerned about personal data collection , and not just jumping on an anti MS bandwagon, they need to disconnect from the internet , and disconnect from
every govt dept and private company that also collects data from them.

How can someone jump up and down about MS collecting data , then conveniently ignore every other entity doing the same but worse (ie data that can be traced back to you)

That info is all out there.
If you really want it , all you need do is put in the time yourself, or pay someone for that info (credit checking agencies have all that)

I see , still no mention from the Win10 conspiracists , of GMail & xtra/yahoo scanning through all those emails . How is that not 100x worse than MS collecting a bit of non personal data ?

Except this thread is not about "on the internet" (although there are things you can do to reduce your footprint there too), rather the collection (and "sharing") of data about what you do with, and store on, your 'offline' pc. Have you read the EULA?

1st Bold-If the Computer is "Off Line", how exactly is any data collected. We all know technology is developing but I'd love to hear how an offline PC, not connected to the internet can have its data collected ?

2nd Bold -- When clicking I agree /Accept you are agree to allow MS to collect data from your PC. Can provide the EULA or proof if required.
