Dutch Data Protection Authority Claims Windows 10 Breaks the law!

Dutch Data Protection Authority (DPA) says Windows 10 operating system (OS) is breaking the law due to absent of clear information on what Microsoft does with the data that OS collects prevents consumers from giving their informed consent

As Ars Technica reports in order for Microsoft to adhere with the law, the Dutch DPA says that the multinational technology company, Microsoft needs to get valid user consent so they must be transparent about what data is collected and how that data is processed. The DPA regulator also argues that the Windows 10 Creators Update doesn't usually respect previously chosen settings about data collection. In the Creators Update, Microsoft introduced new statement about the data collection—though this language still wasn't states clearly about what was collected and why—and it forced its users to re-assert their privacy choices through a new settings page. In some situations, though, that page defaulted to the standard Windows options rather than defaulting to the settings previously chosen.

Till now the Windows 10 privacy options are still in progress for Microsoft to be working on.Microsoft says that it will work with the DPA to "find appropriate solutions" to ensure that Windows 10 adhere with the Dutch law.
