To mark Data Privacy Day 2014, Microsoft released results of a survey measuring consumer privacy perceptions in the United States and Europe. According to our research, people in the United States estimate they have about 50 percent control over the way their information is used online. In Europe, it’s about 40 percent.
At Microsoft, we’re committed to earning customer trust by demonstrating accountability and an inherent respect for privacy. Individuals expect us to prioritize their privacy and incorporate strong privacy protections into our products and services and we are constantly looking for ways to innovate on privacy in support of our customers.
