Windows 10 breaches French law by collecting too much personal information from users, according to the French National Data Protection Commission (CNIL).
根据法国国家数据保护委员会表示,微软Win10系统收集了太多的用户隐私数据,违反了法国的法律。
Some of the privacy failings identified can be remedied by users willing to delve deep into the Windows 10 settings, but one of the commission's gripes is that better privacy should be the default setting, not one users must fight for.
深入了解Windows 10设置的用户能够修正部分隐私问题,但CNIL的不满之一是,更好的隐私保护应当是默认设置,而非让用户手动设置。
By default, Windows 10 collects various data on how it is used - this includes what apps are installed and how much time is spent within them, for example.
在默认情况下,Win10会收集用户们使用的各种数据--举例来说,包括安装了什么应用程序,在应用程序上花费了多少时间等。
"Microsoft is collecting excessive data, as these data are not necessary for the operation of the service," said the CNIL.
法国国家数据保护委员表示:“微软正在收集过多的数据,因为这些数据并不是Win10服务系统所必须的。”
Microsoft also failed to protect user data sufficiently, it said, by allowing users to secure their Microsoft accounts containing their purchase history and their means of payment with a PIN consisting of just four digits, and by allowing unlimited attempts to unlock the account.
此外,微软没有充分的保护用户数据。微软允许用户使用仅有4位数字组成的PIN(个人识别号码),保护包含有购物历史和支付方法信息的微软账户,允许不限次尝试解锁账户。
