Microsoft is going to make unspecified updates to Office ProPlus, a subscription version of Office, in response to alleged privacy violations raised by the Netherlands’ justice ministry, according to a report by Politico. The Dutch authorities said late last year that Microsoft’s data-collection telemetry mechanism violated the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
In its report last Fall, the Dutch ministry found eight issues they said they’d found in Office ProPlus and Office 365. They said at the time that Microsoft had covertly collected personal data on a grand scale, without properly informing users.
