WEBVTT 00:00.390 --> 00:07.080 When are going to go through the windows 10 privacy settings first point to note is it has been shown 00:07.080 --> 00:15.930 so far that with each major Windows 10 updates so Redstone 4 5 6 etc. the update resets your privacy 00:15.930 --> 00:18.840 settings to default which is unfortunate. 00:18.870 --> 00:25.260 So you want to recheck your privacy settings after every major update because Microsoft really wants 00:25.260 --> 00:26.340 your data. 00:26.370 --> 00:33.630 You can change your privacy settings on install on upgrade and post install and the options are much 00:33.630 --> 00:38.760 the same wherever you're doing it again second know that depending on what update you have Redstone 00:38.780 --> 00:47.100 4 5 6 etc. What version of Windows you have home pro education enterprise the location of where a setting 00:47.100 --> 00:49.200 might be can differ. 00:49.320 --> 00:55.980 So why show you on the screen next may not be in the same place on your version which is unfortunate 00:56.580 --> 00:58.370 simply as you can see here. 00:58.370 --> 01:00.850 Do a search for the setting I'm talking about. 01:00.870 --> 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 01:06.240 --> 01:11.160 in this example I'm using smart screen as something I'm searching for that may have been moved out the 01:11.160 --> 01:15.990 privacy settings and put into the security settings instead. 01:15.990 --> 01:18.020 So let's look at the privacy settings. 01:18.450 --> 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 01:27.740 --> 01:34.160 here we got a whole bunch of different options for different types of privacy settings. 01:34.160 --> 01:42.350 The first one is in general and the top one is let apps use my advertising ID for experiences across 01:42.440 --> 01:42.970 apps. 01:42.980 --> 01:49.940 Turning this off will reset your ID so Windows 10 assigns each instance of the operating system a unique 01:50.030 --> 01:51.500 advertising ID. 01:51.560 --> 01:57.770 This is used to customize ads that are sent to you by third party companies such as ad networks and 01:57.770 --> 01:58.930 advertisers. 01:59.270 --> 02:03.290 So do not need that privacy issue. 02:03.290 --> 02:11.490 Next one turn on the small screen filter to check web content are Elle's that window store apps use. 02:11.540 --> 02:15.150 So this is what that small screen filter helps you identify. 02:15.140 --> 02:21.630 Report phishing our Web sites and also helps you make informed decisions about downloads more screen 02:21.630 --> 02:24.090 helps protect you in three ways. 02:24.440 --> 02:29.030 As you browse the web it analyzes pages and determines if they have any characteristics that might be 02:29.030 --> 02:30.190 suspicious. 02:30.200 --> 02:35.360 Small screen checks the sites you visit again a dynamic list of reported phishing sites and malicious 02:35.360 --> 02:41.510 software sites small screen text files that you download from the web against a list of reported malicious 02:41.510 --> 02:47.880 software sites and programs known to be on say so this is actually a good security feature. 02:47.900 --> 02:52.100 So this is something that you would want to have enabled for security. 02:52.100 --> 02:59.120 But if you have privacy concerns you may want to switch this off because it will log when ever you are 02:59.120 --> 03:01.120 going to Web sites. 03:01.160 --> 03:07.920 It will log those things. 03:08.140 --> 03:15.710 Then we have send Microsoft info about how I write to help inform typing and writing in the future. 03:15.710 --> 03:23.290 This actually logs your keystrokes on what you are typing and it's designed for auto correction text 03:23.300 --> 03:26.130 completions so that it can be better at that. 03:26.130 --> 03:28.840 But again it's sending information. 03:28.870 --> 03:30.650 So it's a privacy issue. 03:30.660 --> 03:32.190 Be concerned about privacy. 03:33.270 --> 03:34.890 Need to switch that off. 03:35.160 --> 03:38.260 Let Web sites provide locally relevant content. 03:38.490 --> 03:43.170 By assessing my language less you want to switch this off as well. 03:43.170 --> 03:47.150 It sends information out there. 03:47.170 --> 03:53.990 We have managed my Microsoft advertising and all the personalization info. 03:54.110 --> 03:59.460 This is going to take you to an external page where we have a couple of options. 03:59.490 --> 04:02.460 We've got personalized ads in this browser. 04:02.850 --> 04:05.500 Well no thank you. 04:07.680 --> 04:09.260 And personalize ads. 04:09.420 --> 04:11.710 Whenever I use my Microsoft account. 04:11.730 --> 04:13.680 Again privacy issue. 04:13.710 --> 04:14.800 No thank you. 04:18.670 --> 04:23.850 And this includes Windows Windows Phone X-Box and other devices. 04:28.420 --> 04:37.830 The location type when location services for this account are own apps and services you allow can request 04:37.860 --> 04:40.600 location and location history. 04:41.010 --> 04:45.920 So this is geo location via GPS and why file location. 04:45.950 --> 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. 04:52.700 --> 04:56.100 For each individual application. 04:56.370 --> 04:58.200 So I'd recommend that. 04:58.200 --> 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 05:08.270 --> 05:11.730 privacy information to those particular services. 05:13.540 --> 05:17.330 Next is a camera. 05:17.640 --> 05:22.460 This is really asking What apps do we want to allow access to our cameras. 05:22.470 --> 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 05:28.950 --> 05:34.240 disable it on all of the app support for maybe the odd one that we want. 05:34.710 --> 05:37.520 Next is microphone. 05:37.690 --> 05:45.310 Again we have the global on or off we can choose which apps get access to the microphone. 05:45.360 --> 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 05:50.820 --> 05:52.580 may be switched on to listen. 05:52.590 --> 05:54.780 It certainly is with Cortana. 05:54.780 --> 06:05.080 Next is speech inking and typing windows and code can get to know your voice in writing to make better 06:05.080 --> 06:06.430 suggestions for you. 06:06.430 --> 06:13.660 We will collect info like contacts recent calendar events speech handwriting patterns and typing history 06:13.780 --> 06:15.800 so privacy issue. 06:16.330 --> 06:18.130 Start getting to know me. 06:19.330 --> 06:25.710 Turned off and then we want to go to go to being and manage personal info for all your devices. 06:27.620 --> 06:34.220 And then here if you have Microsoft accounts you will sign in and you will deactivate any of the things 06:34.220 --> 06:37.190 that you deem to be a privacy issue. 06:40.710 --> 06:42.020 Nexts account info 06:44.940 --> 06:51.990 apps access my name picture and other account info to disable that for privacy. 06:54.000 --> 07:01.280 Nice's contacts who you want to share your contact information with which apps 07:04.120 --> 07:06.840 again up to you potential privacy issue. 07:06.970 --> 07:14.480 Next calendar apps access my calendar now. 07:14.500 --> 07:15.360 Thank you. 07:18.900 --> 07:20.170 Next is messaging 07:23.110 --> 07:25.380 apps read or send emails. 07:25.390 --> 07:33.850 So this can be used for example if an app wants to authenticate it might send a message to your machine. 07:33.850 --> 07:40.210 This is more designed for mobile devices but it might send a message to your machine and or to authenticate 07:40.210 --> 07:41.580 like a messaging app. 07:43.490 --> 07:46.010 No Maxxis radios 07:48.980 --> 07:54.420 cement shoes radios such as Bluetooth in your device to send and receive data. 07:54.420 --> 07:58.830 Sometimes apps need to turn these radios on and off to work their magic. 07:58.890 --> 08:03.470 So sometimes you get an app that needs to switch on or off Wi-Fi. 08:03.570 --> 08:07.780 But if you switch those off you probably switch off for a good reason. 08:07.830 --> 08:10.790 You might want to set that two off. 08:12.010 --> 08:13.330 Nice's other devices 08:16.700 --> 08:23.120 let your apps automatically share and sync info with wireless devices that don't explicitly pass with 08:23.120 --> 08:27.710 your PC tablet or phone so you don't want information sinking. 08:27.700 --> 08:30.920 Privacy issue. 08:31.100 --> 08:33.210 Next is feedback and diagnostics 08:35.610 --> 08:37.740 window should ask for my feedback. 08:39.980 --> 08:46.580 Never We don't want to be sending feedback information back to Microsoft and just to be safe we can 08:46.580 --> 08:51.510 set this to basic and the last one here is background apps 08:54.750 --> 09:00.050 choose which apps can receive info send notifications and stay up to date. 09:00.270 --> 09:06.100 When you're not using them turning background apps off can help conserve power. 09:06.240 --> 09:12.990 So this is designed more for conserving power but at the same time you can use it to disable these from 09:13.350 --> 09:19.530 going out and asking for various bits of information that can interfere with your privacy. 09:19.680 --> 09:21.720 So you want to switch all of these off 09:27.510 --> 09:31.340 if you want further explanations on the latest privacy settings. 09:31.350 --> 09:37.010 This is a best resource and most up to date resource that I'm aware of that keeps updating. 09:37.050 --> 09:38.520 So check it out as well.
