How to access and change the privacy settings in Windows 10 and 11.

At Microsoft, we value, protect, and defend your privacy. Our approach is built on our long-standing privacy principles of user control, transparency, security, defending data, and using personal data in ways that provide meaningful benefit to you.

At Microsoft, we believe privacy starts with putting you in control of your data. Your privacy dashboard is the place where you can view and clear data that Microsoft saves to the cloud. This data includes your browsing and Bing search history, location data, apps and services activity, and more.

The privacy report includes new developments in privacy at Microsoft. Find the latest information on what personal data we collect, how it may be used, and how you can manage and control your data.

Explore Microsoft privacy principles and how your data is protected through strong privacy policies and safeguards. Learn more at the Microsoft Trust Center.
