Hey guys,
Does anyone recognise the message below, or any aspect of it?
I'm part of a large group and several people have already reported
receiving it. So, it could have gone literally to thousands.
Most suspicions arise from the email address
<[email protected]>
and the weird URLs
http://microsoft.microsoft.com/Key-4660701.C.CmDvX.C.K2.-.HdtT07
and the range of items
Updating the Services Agreement (singular??)
Privacy URL
Services Agreement URL
Frequently Asked Questions URL
On this list we know some Microsoft people. I'm hoping it's possible
that someone is able to clear it, or to can it as junk mail.
Much appreciated

Subject: Updates to our terms of use and privacy statement

* Your Services Agreement and Privacy Statement made clearer *
As part of our effort to improve your experience across our consumer
services, we're updating the Microsoft Services Agreement and the
Microsoft Privacy Statement. We want to take this opportunity to notify
you about these updates.
The Microsoft Services Agreement will cover most of Microsoft’s consumer
online services, including Xbox Live, Bing, MSN, Skype, OneDrive,
Outlook.com and Microsoft account. You can see the full list [here]. The
Microsoft Privacy Statement also covers most of Microsoft's consumer
products and services.

******************************
Simplicity - Many of our customers use more than one Microsoft service,
and have agreed to many sets of terms and privacy policies. To make it
easier to use multiple services, we've brought together these documents
into a single agreement and a consolidated privacy statement that cover
most of our consumer services.
Privacy - Our longstanding commitment to privacy has not changed. We
remain committed to protecting your data, being clear about how we use
it and putting you in control. For example, we do not use the contents
of your email, chat, video calls, documents, photos or voicemail to
target advertising to you. And as you'll see when you read the Microsoft
Privacy Statement, we offer a range of tools that enable you to make
decisions about what data we collect. Additionally, we have launched a
new [privacy dashboard] that makes it easier for you to make choices
about how we use your data.
http://microsoft.microsoft.com/Key-4660701.C.CmDvX.D.K2.-.Hk3WG8
Transparency - We are using straightforward language so our terms of use
and Microsoft Privacy Statement are easier to understand. In addition,
we've put key privacy information all in one place, so that you no
longer have to cross-reference several documents to understand the big
picture. While this consolidation eliminates redundancies and simplifies
the structure of the information, we continue to provide
service-specific details to allow you to make informed choices about how
you use our services. We've also added some additional privacy
information about new features and functionality we'll soon roll out,
like those you'll see on Windows 10.
******************************
The updates will take effect on 1 August 2015. If you continue to use
our services after 1 August 2015, you agree to the updated terms. If you
do not agree, you can choose to discontinue use of the services and
close your Microsoft account before 1 August. If you are an Xbox Live
subscriber, you will be prompted soon to accept the terms when you log
in to Xbox Live on your Xbox One, Xbox 360 or at Xbox.com. If you are a
parent or guardian, you are responsible for your child or teenager's use
of Microsoft services, including purchases.
Thank you for using Microsoft services.
