Common use of Internet-Based Features; Privacy Clause in Contracts

Internet-Based Features; Privacy. Some software features use Internet protocols, which send to Microsoft (or its suppliers or service providers) computer information, such as your Internet protocol address, the type of operating system, browser, and name and version of the software you are using, and the language code of the computer where you installed the software. Microsoft uses this information to make the Internet-based features available to you, in accordance with the Windows 8.1 Privacy Statement at xx.xxxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxx/?xxxxxx=000000 and information that may be presented to you in the Windows user interface. Some Internet-based features may be delivered and updated at a later date—if, for example, you acquire an application that relies on one of those services, or to help make the software safer or more reliable.
