Microsoft puts privacy policy on display
C|Net | at | by Mike
Microsoft has begun to incorporate new privacy policies and procedures in upcoming products, apparently in response to this month's settlement with the Federal Trade Commission. The newest beta, or test, version of Windows Media Player 9 Series prominently displays Microsoft's privacy policy for the program and offers consumers options for controlling just how much information they share when using the product. Unlike competing products, Windows Media Player 9 Series presents consumers with these options the first time the program is used. Microsoft is scheduled to release a widely available public beta of the media player Sept. 4 in Los Angeles.
