From the Outlook Android app
We value your privacy. We’re selling it.
Gold
WE VALUE YOUR PRIVACY!*
*no we don’t. not even a little.
No, I think they’re being literal. There is value that they want in your privacy.
- We value your privacy (in a twisted way)
- Our company’s value (increases with access to) your privacy
Or the idea of the title and text was to create a paradox like: The following statement is true. // The preceding statement is false.
797 partners? Might need to get tested haha
There will be some lawsuit in the future somewhere in Europe. And the judge will rightfully rule that you can’t get an “informed consent” from your users for 800 tracking companies just by letting them click a button with dark patterns.
Europe for sure. USA? Better chance of the president smoking rock at the state of the union. Land of the fee and all that.
Anything ran by Microsoft is a privacy concern (includes Windows, Teams, npm, GitHub)
“We value your privacy”. Proceeds to not value any kind of privacy at all
“We valuated your privacy”, more like
What’s worse is when it’s accept all or manage preferences, and you manually have to turn off cookies for all 718 partners individually, every time you open the app.
At least they are (forced to be) honest ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I like the rest of the wording, too. They’d like to process arbitrary data from the device. And third parties act out of their own motivation as long as it is their legitimate interest…
Use ‘REJECT ALL’.
REJECT ALL button doesn’t often work as you’d expect. Websites/Apps can (and do) still approve so called “legitimate interest” option. The only way to be sure is to click “manage preferences” and dig in to check if legitimate interest is enabled. Sometimes you’ll see “object all” in there, but you will find notice that some websites require to manually disable legitimate interest for each of the hundreds of partners manually.
Hehe, keep up spreading that important info 💪✌️. Most people aren’t aware and this practice should be illegal. Reject ALL… Every word they say is just a fucking lie.
I guess ‘Reject All’ means just ‘reject all of the above’, and there are are additional terms that are binding, they just spared you from handling those with this popup, or why is that kind of thing legal?
That’s why I reject all in Firefox settings along with wiping everything at close
The correct syntax for embedding images is:
They do value your privacy very expensively!
That’s why F-Droid exists.
Imagine applying to private university and reading their privacy policy, where they clearly say, how they get your private information from third parties and share all info with third parties. And when you ask administrator, how can i prevent them from doing that, they say, that they do not share/get info from/to thirdparties. Bravo
Sounds like an easy lawsuit
Is this Facebook?
It’s Outlook trying to be like Facebook
I guess I appreciate that there’s a “reject all” button and it’s not grayed out… Not sure if it’s because they were required to not hide it, though.
The only reason they’re even asking is because they’re required to.
I’m just surprised it’s not obscured by a dark pattern (making the opt-out button “less eye-catching” to paraphrase a different article)
I don’t think facebook shares much data to other companies, they have more to gain by keeping it to themselves and having all the data to serve their billions of users personnalized ads. Basically the same as Google, they don’t really sell your data. For these companies I never really liked the phrase that says you are the product, youre not really the product, you are what makes their product. If a company sold your data plainly, then yes in thsi case you are the product
Accept all, then block it with Adguard with HTTPS Filter enabled for that app
Why? What is the benefit?
Honestly i would not ever touch outlook outside tor session
That… doesn’t work how you apparently think it does.
