Schneier - Surveillance by the New Microsoft Outlook App

The ProtonMail people are accusing Microsoft’s new Outlook for Windows app of conducting extensive surveillance on its users. It shares data with advertisers, a lot of data:

The window informs users that Microsoft and those 801 third parties use their data for a number of purposes, including to:

• Store and/or access information on the user’s device
• Develop and improve products
• Personalize ads and content
• Measure ads and content
• Derive audience insights
• Obtain precise geolocation data
• Identify users through device scanning
