hey guys this is adam lane with packing.com number of our readers were kind of confused last week when microsoft was hit by a lawsuit claiming the windows phone 7 was uploading location data to the market officers without the users permission this is a freshly reset HD 7s and we're just going to take a look at where exactly were asked for permission to upload like location data and you know all of that privacy stuff and Windows Phone 7 so let's check it out first off you got to do let's get started and what's the English enough sim card terms of use now if you're going to sue Microsoft this is probably something you should read so we're going to look at that before we say accept or reject there we go and we're going to look at the privacy section you can set you can send to the collection use and disclosure of your information in accordance with the MSA and the windows phone 7 privacy statement there's another one down here privacy we collect certain information value use and protect the information as described in the blah blah blah okay so there's a lot of stuff admitting to collecting data so as soon as we say except that means it's okay for them to do it alright and now we have another thing the recommended settings enable cylinder data and send information to help improve when those phones so if you're going to choose that it's going to send information anyway let's choose custom and here we are again send information to help improve one who's phone yes or no let's do know and just a little time settings whatever you can sign in I'll just skip it style naps that done in it and here we are all done so we already did give it permission to the Senate aggression arcsoft but now let's go into the camera and here it is again allow the camera to use your location anyway we're going to say cancel your camera and take a picture one finger and let's just look at the settings include location is shut off so that picture should not have any GPS information attached to it and there's your privacy statement again and every time we go to an app that wants to use your location it's going to ask you again so do I want to allow this to use my location now after i took that picture i loaded it onto my computer here and i wanted to see if there was any location information attached to it so this is a bridge and we're going to select it and here's all the metadata attached to that picture so we see the date we say Windows Phone OS 7 and there is no location information at all attached to it normally there would be a GPS entry here and there be some latitude and longitude coordinates that is if you turned on the GPS option for attaching the pictures so since I denied the camera access to the GPS seems that that is not there that's it for now hmm
