Outlook got updated on my iPhone last night and now they want me to agree to having my data shared with 807 partners.

Important note: I don’t use outlook as my primary email provider. I use Proton with a custom domain but I keep outlook for some old emails.

I love how they just say "we value your privacy" and then list out half of their means of data collection. Microsoft ain't even trying anymore.

800ish entities is not "partners".

"Partners" are people you could invite to site around a conference table with you. For it to be a partnership, you need to be able to have a meaningful discussion among all the different partners. 800ish is even too big for an auditorium where you're presenting to all your "partners". 800ish is a small arena.

Those aren't partners.

Do you pay for email? If so this is wrong. If not, it’s how you pay for email.

I pay for it - family plan. The screen after this is about where I want my ads shown in the app…a paying customer shouldn’t be seeing ads.

Fair enough, they sell access to your eyeballs to their real customers, the advertisers.

But, what isn't fair is that it's 807 "partners". This isn't 807 different brands who might want to advertise to you, it's far more than that. This is 807 different "partners" among whom are Google, Meta, ByteDance, Amazon, Alibaba, etc. who then each go on to sell access to their hundreds of thousands of advertisers.

You can't expect to have a meaningful privacy policy when you're sharing that data with 807 different entities.

the reject all button should atleast be normalized

They want you to think that "to value it" in this context means "to have it in high steem". When it's more like "to put a price tag on it".

If i see this kind of shit, 90% of the time their domain would just go into my browsers' blocklist. It's likely either riddled with ads, or hosts incorrect/incompletely information too

You should know better than to resort to whores with 807 partners. you've gone past the red flag into the red zone territory.

By value they mean how much they salivate about selling it for profit.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago

I think that my record is just over 3000 legitimate partners

For your old emails, use a more private app. iOS Mail is good enough although if you need push for Gmail support, Email by Edison is good as it gives you a single button to press to opt out of Edison Trends.

Their privacy label, in the App Store, is one of the better ones among email clients.

"We value your privacy" in the same way my dog values a steak dipped in peanut butter.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago
