Microsoft is committed to protecting your privacy, while delivering products, services, and devices that brings you the performance, power, and convenience you desire in your personal computing. This privacy statement governs your use of the Switch to Windows Phone Application (the “App”). It does not apply to other online or offline Microsoft sites, products, services, or apps. By using the App, you agree and consent to the information collection described below.
The App is designed to help Android users easily determine whether their apps (or similar apps) are available on Windows Phone, and to facilitate the switch to Windows Phone by providing a quick and easy way to install the same apps and move other data from the Android device to a Windows Phone. Not all features are available in all versions of the Apps.
Collection and Use of Your Information
When you run the App on your Android phone, it will scan your phone for the Android apps you currently have. Once you receive the Windows Phone app list, you may choose to save the list on Microsoft servers so you can later easily install the apps on your new Windows Phone. If you choose not to save the list, you don’t need to take any further action or provide any further information to Microsoft. If you choose to save the list, you will need to sign in with or establish a Microsoft account, and the list will be stored associated with your account. (For information on Microsoft account privacy practices, see http://privacy.microsoft.com/en-us/default.mspx.)
Disclosure of Your Information
Microsoft may access or disclose information, including information about you to the extent we possess it, in order to: (a) comply with the law or respond to lawful requests or legal process; (b) protect the rights or property of Microsoft or our customers, including the enforcement of our agreements or policies governing your use of the services; or (c) act on a good faith belief that such access or disclosure is necessary to protect the personal safety of Microsoft employees, customers, or the public.
Security of your information
Microsoft is committed to helping protect the security of your information. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For example, we use secure transmission methods when sending data to or from your device, and we store information on computer systems with limited access, which are located in controlled facilities.
Information that is collected by or sent to Microsoft by the App may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which Microsoft or its affiliates, subsidiaries, or service providers maintain facilities. Microsoft abides by the safe harbor framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of data from the European Union, the European Economic Area, and Switzerland.
Changes to this privacy statement
We may occasionally update this privacy statement to reflect changes in our products, services, and customer feedback. When we post changes, we will revise the "last updated" date at the top of this statement. If there are material changes to this statement or in how Microsoft will use your personal information, we will notify you either by posting a notice of such changes prior to implementing the change or by directly sending you a notification. We encourage you to periodically review this statement to be informed of how Microsoft is protecting your information.
