Telegraph poroča tudi o odkritju svetovalnega podjetja Privacy Company, ki ga je najelo nizozemsko pravosodno ministrstvo: Microsoftov programski paket Office na skrivaj zbira in v centralo pošilja podatke svojega uporabnika, na primer dele elektronskih sporočil in s črkovalnikom preverjanih besedil. MS je te podatke nekoč pošiljal v ZDA, potem pa je zaradi razvpitega GDPR zbirko preselil nazaj v Evropo. Nizozemsko vlado skrbi predvsem, da je Microsoft lahko zbiral tudi njene podatke, saj približno 300.000 državnih uslužbencev uporablja programe Microsofta.

Microsoft collected telemetry data, part of normal software monitoring, of users of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook. However, the data included sentences from Microsoft Word or lines of emails if its automated systems detected certain actions, like using a spell-checker.
Privacy Company, which conducted the investigation, said Microsoft engaged in "large scale and secret processing of data".
The report from the Ministry of Justice said: "Data provided by and about users was being gathered through Windows 10 Enterprise and Microsoft Office and stored in a database in the US in a way that posed major risks to users’ privacy."
