I don't need to have access to Microsoft's storage arrays to know that they have stuff in there that is private and personal. A moment's rational thought about what they admit they are collecting makes it obvious that personal stuff gets transmitted as well. There's no way not to have it happen.

I don't doubt they may inadvertently capture personal data with programs like EMET.

Do you know of a way that can be avoided? If it can't be avoided, can you make the case that they should not be running that program and capturing that data?

My question would be - do you use online banking? Can’t really avoid it anymore. My local bank only has one location now on the other side of town. I’m sure the government can easily look to see how much I have in my account at any given moment.

File your taxes online? I wouldn’t be surprised if Microsoft or somebody else can capture all the info you input to complete that return. HR Block does. And I only have to pay them $65 for software that allows them to do it.
