1
00:00:00,390 --> 00:00:07,080
When are going to go through the windows 10 privacy settings first point to note is it has been shown

2
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:15,930
so far that with each major Windows 10 updates so Redstone 4 5 6 etc. the update resets your privacy

3
00:00:15,930 --> 00:00:18,840
settings to default which is unfortunate.

4
00:00:18,870 --> 00:00:25,260
So you want to recheck your privacy settings after every major update because Microsoft really wants

5
00:00:25,260 --> 00:00:26,340
your data.

6
00:00:26,370 --> 00:00:33,630
You can change your privacy settings on install on upgrade and post install and the options are much

7
00:00:33,630 --> 00:00:38,760
the same wherever you're doing it again second know that depending on what update you have Redstone

8
00:00:38,780 --> 00:00:47,100
4 5 6 etc. What version of Windows you have home pro education enterprise the location of where a setting

9
00:00:47,100 --> 00:00:49,200
might be can differ.

10
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:55,980
So why show you on the screen next may not be in the same place on your version which is unfortunate

11
00:00:56,580 --> 00:00:58,370
simply as you can see here.

12
00:00:58,370 --> 00:01:00,850
Do a search for the setting I'm talking about.

13
00:01:00,870 --> 00:01:06,150
If it's not in the same places where I'm showing you using a search and try to find where abouts is

14
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:11,160
in this example I'm using smart screen as something I'm searching for that may have been moved out the

15
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:15,990
privacy settings and put into the security settings instead.

16
00:01:15,990 --> 00:01:18,020
So let's look at the privacy settings.

17
00:01:18,450 --> 00:01:27,740
To do that you need to come down here settings privacy icon and here we are and you can see the left

18
00:01:27,740 --> 00:01:34,160
here we got a whole bunch of different options for different types of privacy settings.

19
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:42,350
The first one is in general and the top one is let apps use my advertising ID for experiences across

20
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:42,970
apps.

21
00:01:42,980 --> 00:01:49,940
Turning this off will reset your ID so Windows 10 assigns each instance of the operating system a unique

22
00:01:50,030 --> 00:01:51,500
advertising ID.

23
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:57,770
This is used to customize ads that are sent to you by third party companies such as ad networks and

24
00:01:57,770 --> 00:01:58,930
advertisers.

25
00:01:59,270 --> 00:02:03,290
So do not need that privacy issue.

26
00:02:03,290 --> 00:02:11,490
Next one turn on the small screen filter to check web content are Elle's that window store apps use.

27
00:02:11,540 --> 00:02:15,150
So this is what that small screen filter helps you identify.

28
00:02:15,140 --> 00:02:21,630
Report phishing our Web sites and also helps you make informed decisions about downloads more screen

29
00:02:21,630 --> 00:02:24,090
helps protect you in three ways.

30
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:29,030
As you browse the web it analyzes pages and determines if they have any characteristics that might be

31
00:02:29,030 --> 00:02:30,190
suspicious.

32
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:35,360
Small screen checks the sites you visit again a dynamic list of reported phishing sites and malicious

33
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:41,510
software sites small screen text files that you download from the web against a list of reported malicious

34
00:02:41,510 --> 00:02:47,880
software sites and programs known to be on say so this is actually a good security feature.

35
00:02:47,900 --> 00:02:52,100
So this is something that you would want to have enabled for security.

36
00:02:52,100 --> 00:02:59,120
But if you have privacy concerns you may want to switch this off because it will log when ever you are

37
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,120
going to Web sites.

38
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:07,920
It will log those things.

39
00:03:08,140 --> 00:03:15,710
Then we have send Microsoft info about how I write to help inform typing and writing in the future.

40
00:03:15,710 --> 00:03:23,290
This actually logs your keystrokes on what you are typing and it's designed for auto correction text

41
00:03:23,300 --> 00:03:26,130
completions so that it can be better at that.

42
00:03:26,130 --> 00:03:28,840
But again it's sending information.

43
00:03:28,870 --> 00:03:30,650
So it's a privacy issue.

44
00:03:30,660 --> 00:03:32,190
Be concerned about privacy.

45
00:03:33,270 --> 00:03:34,890
Need to switch that off.

46
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,260
Let Web sites provide locally relevant content.

47
00:03:38,490 --> 00:03:43,170
By assessing my language less you want to switch this off as well.

48
00:03:43,170 --> 00:03:47,150
It sends information out there.

49
00:03:47,170 --> 00:03:53,990
We have managed my Microsoft advertising and all the personalization info.

50
00:03:54,110 --> 00:03:59,460
This is going to take you to an external page where we have a couple of options.

51
00:03:59,490 --> 00:04:02,460
We've got personalized ads in this browser.

52
00:04:02,850 --> 00:04:05,500
Well no thank you.

53
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,260
And personalize ads.

54
00:04:09,420 --> 00:04:11,710
Whenever I use my Microsoft account.

55
00:04:11,730 --> 00:04:13,680
Again privacy issue.

56
00:04:13,710 --> 00:04:14,800
No thank you.

57
00:04:18,670 --> 00:04:23,850
And this includes Windows Windows Phone X-Box and other devices.

58
00:04:28,420 --> 00:04:37,830
The location type when location services for this account are own apps and services you allow can request

59
00:04:37,860 --> 00:04:40,600
location and location history.

60
00:04:41,010 --> 00:04:45,920
So this is geo location via GPS and why file location.

61
00:04:45,950 --> 00:04:52,700
There is a global switch here to switch it off which is nice and then you can switch it off or on.

62
00:04:52,700 --> 00:04:56,100
For each individual application.

63
00:04:56,370 --> 00:04:58,200
So I'd recommend that.

64
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:08,000
This is all for privacy and if you have the need for any of these to be on then you will be giving away

65
00:05:08,270 --> 00:05:11,730
privacy information to those particular services.

66
00:05:13,540 --> 00:05:17,330
Next is a camera.

67
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:22,460
This is really asking What apps do we want to allow access to our cameras.

68
00:05:22,470 --> 00:05:28,950
So if we want to be particularly cautious we can switch the camera off until when we need it or we can

69
00:05:28,950 --> 00:05:34,240
disable it on all of the app support for maybe the odd one that we want.

70
00:05:34,710 --> 00:05:37,520
Next is microphone.

71
00:05:37,690 --> 00:05:45,310
Again we have the global on or off we can choose which apps get access to the microphone.

72
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:50,820
You may want to switch this off till you want to use it if you're a little bit concerned that the microphone

73
00:05:50,820 --> 00:05:52,580
may be switched on to listen.

74
00:05:52,590 --> 00:05:54,780
It certainly is with Cortana.

75
00:05:54,780 --> 00:06:05,080
Next is speech inking and typing windows and code can get to know your voice in writing to make better

76
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,430
suggestions for you.

77
00:06:06,430 --> 00:06:13,660
We will collect info like contacts recent calendar events speech handwriting patterns and typing history

78
00:06:13,780 --> 00:06:15,800
so privacy issue.

79
00:06:16,330 --> 00:06:18,130
Start getting to know me.

80
00:06:19,330 --> 00:06:25,710
Turned off and then we want to go to go to being and manage personal info for all your devices.

81
00:06:27,620 --> 00:06:34,220
And then here if you have Microsoft accounts you will sign in and you will deactivate any of the things

82
00:06:34,220 --> 00:06:37,190
that you deem to be a privacy issue.

83
00:06:40,710 --> 00:06:42,020
Nexts account info

84
00:06:44,940 --> 00:06:51,990
apps access my name picture and other account info to disable that for privacy.

85
00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:01,280
Nice's contacts who you want to share your contact information with which apps

86
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,840
again up to you potential privacy issue.

87
00:07:06,970 --> 00:07:14,480
Next calendar apps access my calendar now.

88
00:07:14,500 --> 00:07:15,360
Thank you.

89
00:07:18,900 --> 00:07:20,170
Next is messaging

90
00:07:23,110 --> 00:07:25,380
apps read or send emails.

91
00:07:25,390 --> 00:07:33,850
So this can be used for example if an app wants to authenticate it might send a message to your machine.

92
00:07:33,850 --> 00:07:40,210
This is more designed for mobile devices but it might send a message to your machine and or to authenticate

93
00:07:40,210 --> 00:07:41,580
like a messaging app.

94
00:07:43,490 --> 00:07:46,010
No Maxxis radios

95
00:07:48,980 --> 00:07:54,420
cement shoes radios such as Bluetooth in your device to send and receive data.

96
00:07:54,420 --> 00:07:58,830
Sometimes apps need to turn these radios on and off to work their magic.

97
00:07:58,890 --> 00:08:03,470
So sometimes you get an app that needs to switch on or off Wi-Fi.

98
00:08:03,570 --> 00:08:07,780
But if you switch those off you probably switch off for a good reason.

99
00:08:07,830 --> 00:08:10,790
You might want to set that two off.

100
00:08:12,010 --> 00:08:13,330
Nice's other devices

101
00:08:16,700 --> 00:08:23,120
let your apps automatically share and sync info with wireless devices that don't explicitly pass with

102
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:27,710
your PC tablet or phone so you don't want information sinking.

103
00:08:27,700 --> 00:08:30,920
Privacy issue.

104
00:08:31,100 --> 00:08:33,210
Next is feedback and diagnostics

105
00:08:35,610 --> 00:08:37,740
window should ask for my feedback.

106
00:08:39,980 --> 00:08:46,580
Never We don't want to be sending feedback information back to Microsoft and just to be safe we can

107
00:08:46,580 --> 00:08:51,510
set this to basic and the last one here is background apps

108
00:08:54,750 --> 00:09:00,050
choose which apps can receive info send notifications and stay up to date.

109
00:09:00,270 --> 00:09:06,100
When you're not using them turning background apps off can help conserve power.

110
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:12,990
So this is designed more for conserving power but at the same time you can use it to disable these from

111
00:09:13,350 --> 00:09:19,530
going out and asking for various bits of information that can interfere with your privacy.

112
00:09:19,680 --> 00:09:21,720
So you want to switch all of these off

113
00:09:27,510 --> 00:09:31,340
if you want further explanations on the latest privacy settings.

114
00:09:31,350 --> 00:09:37,010
This is a best resource and most up to date resource that I'm aware of that keeps updating.

115
00:09:37,050 --> 00:09:38,520
So check it out as well.
