hello, do you know the business model of Microsoft applications? I don't know if there is any data collection and the subscription is expensive, so I have questions

Not free and assume that everything that you click and type is collected

    bayesian and do you have any proof that what I click or type is collected whether I pay a subscription or not?

      A snippet from the horse's mouth:

      'How we use personal data
      Microsoft uses the data we collect to provide you with rich, interactive experiences. In particular, we use data to:

      Provide our products, which includes updating, securing, and troubleshooting, as well as providing support. It also includes sharing data, when it is required to provide the service or carry out the transactions you request.
      Improve and develop our products.
      Personalize our products and make recommendations.
      Advertise and market to you, which includes sending promotional communications, targeting advertising, and presenting you with relevant offers.
      We also use the data to operate our business, which includes analyzing our performance, meeting our legal obligations, developing our workforce, and doing research.

      In carrying out these purposes, we combine data we collect from different contexts (for example, from your use of two Microsoft products) or obtain from third parties to give you a more seamless, consistent, and personalized experience, to make informed business decisions, and for other legitimate purposes.

      Our processing of personal data for these purposes includes both automated and manual (human) methods of processing. Our automated methods often are related to and supported by our manual methods. For example, to build, train, and improve the accuracy of our automated methods of processing (including artificial intelligence or AI), we manually review some of the predictions and inferences produced by the automated methods against the underlying data from which the predictions and inferences were made. For instance, with your permission and for the purpose of improving our speech recognition technologies, we manually review short snippets of voice data that we have taken steps to de-identify. This manual review may be conducted by Microsoft employees or vendors who are working on Microsoft’s behalf.'

      They will be collecting data no matter what, but the amount and type of data will depend on which of their services and products you use and if you're logged in or not. If you're paying a subscription you're probably using most of their services logged in? Whcih means you're more likely, not less likely to get your data collected and collated across different devices and services.

      What is Microsoft's business model? Does anyone have any information on this (I'm not talking about data collection, which everyone does)

        jufstp You've asked the same question three times in a row. It's possible that the GrapheneOS community is not the best place to find such an answer.

            Increasing revenue and pushing its stock market value by selling stuff. Also, I believe they are quite invested in AI development. So, yeah, maybe a thorough Bing search could provide more information on this.

              I found the answer to my question on the Internet. Thank you
