Last update: December 2012

At Microsoft, we're working hard to protect your privacy while delivering products that bring you the performance, power, and convenience you desire in your personal computing. This Internet Explorer 10 (“Internet Explorer”) privacy statement for Windows 7 focuses on features that communicate with the Internet, explains how those features collect your data, and describes the way that data is used. This privacy statement focuses on features that communicate with the Internet. It doesn’t apply to other online or offline Microsoft sites, products, or services. Internet Explorer has certain features that may impact or help you to protect your privacy. The sections below describe some of these features and how to change their settings.

Internet basics

Internet Explorer is designed to make it easy to browse and interact with websites on your intranet or on the Internet. Whenever you use the Internet, or software with Internet-enabled features, information about your computer ("standard computer information") is sent to the websites you visit and online services you use. Standard computer information includes your computer's IP address, browser type and language, access times, and referring website addresses. This information might be logged on those sites' web servers. Which information is logged and how that information is used depends on the privacy practices of the websites you visit and web services you use.

On occasion, I look for additional info on these items, but can't always find it. I found the write-up and instructions to be helpful; thought you may as well.

Much more to be found here than the usual privacy statement -
