Lawsuit Claims Microsoft Collects Phone User Data

From eWeek:
A lawsuit claims Microsoft is building out a location-based database by collecting geo-location data from its Windows Phone 7 phones, even when the user declined to share location data.

A lawsuit filed in Washington state accused Microsoft of tracking Windows Phone users without their consent even after users have opted out of information sharing.
I suggest it is prudent to flat-out expect that your individual data are collected when using interconnected electronic devices.
