What does Microsoft have on file about you?


 
 

Ever wondered exactly what personal info Microsoft keeps on you when you sign up to their services?

Well wonder no more, a leaked internal document from Microsoft reveals exactly what they keep on record.

If you signed up to Xbox live using a credit card, Microsoft keeps the following info on file: date of birth, name, e-mail address, physical address, telephone number, credit card number, type of credit card, credit card expiration, plus your Microsoft Passport and Xbox serial number.

Plus, for up to 180 days they hang on to: screen names, IP address, IP logs, billing info and email content.

Probably not much to worry about.

Unless, of course, you have a tendency to brag about your criminal exploits via e-mail or online generally.  Law enforcement can subpoena any of this stuff.
