Microsoft allows you to personalize your ad settings

Location

You may be used to location services, and they sure are handy when you’re trying to get from point
A to B. But Microsoft’s new privacy agreement suggests they are sharing this location information
(and your location history) with “trusted” third parties. If that makes you uncomfortable, it may be
best to disable this. The Location tab is located directly beneath the General tab.

Wi-Fi Sense

Wi-Fi Sense could be either very practical, or very invasive, depending on how you look at it. The
new feature allows you to automatically share your Wi-Fi password with your Outlook, Skype, and
Facebook contacts, which saves a lot of hassle when friends come over and need your password.

Windows 10 Wi-Fi Sense: do you need
it?

On the other hand, this may not be wise
for those with broad social networks,
because this option does not allow you to
selectively pick which contacts to share it
with. This option should be enabled or
disabled on a case by case basis – it’s
located in Network & Internet instead of
Privacy.
