[QUOTE="Lenny_Fox, post: 953373, member: 82776"] Interesting discussion. How long does Microsoft keeps those URL's? Anyone knows? [SPOILER="Microsoft Privacy Policy"] The SmartScreen service stores data about the reputation checks and builds a database of known malicious URLs and files. The data is stored on secure Microsoft servers and is used only for Microsoft security services. The data is never used to identify or target you in any way. Clearing your browsing cache clears all locally stored SmartScreen URL data. Clearing your download history removes any locally stored SmartScreen data about file downloads. So answer is: until you exit Edge when you have chosen to delete browsing data when closing the browser [/SPOILER] Interesting point raised about privacy: when I trust the OS (Windows on desktop, Android on phone) and the browser (Edge/Chrome), does it make big data wise any difference when I do or don't use their search engine (Bing/Google) or their phishing protection? Would be interesting to know MT-members opinion on this. [/QUOTE]
