Human: Compare the difference in Microsoft and Apple's approach to their user's data privacy.
Assistant: Sure, I can provide an overview of Microsoft and Apple's approaches to user data privacy and highlight some of the key differences:

- Microsoft and Apple both have official privacy policies that describe how they collect and use customer data. However, critics have argued that Microsoft's policies can be more vague or open to interpretation compared to Apple's, which are often praised for being more transparent and straightforward.
- Microsoft collects user data across many of its services, including Windows, Office, and Xbox, in order to personalize experiences and show targeted ads. Apple also personalizes some services, but they do not use customer data for advertising and have stricter limits on how data can be shared with third parties.
- Microsoft has faced some high-profile controversies related to government surveillance requests and requests for data from law enforcement. While Apple has also received these types of requests, they have taken a stronger public stance on privacy and frequently push back against or even refuse certain requests.
- In terms of specific products, Apple emphasizes privacy features like encryption and biometric authentication in devices like the iPhone and iPad. Some argue that the "walled garden" approach of Apple's iOS operating system offers stronger privacy than the more open ecosystem of Microsoft Windows. However, others say this limits user freedom and oversight.

Does this help provide an overview of the key differences in Microsoft and Apple's approaches to user data privacy? Let me know if you would like me to elaborate on any specific points or discuss other areas of comparison.

Assistant: I'm sorry for making you frustrated like this, let me try again.

## Microsoft: 
- Privacy policy: Microsoft respects local privacy laws and fights for the protection of users’ privacy as a fundamental human right. 
- Data collection: Microsoft is dedicated to being transparent with their customers and giving them control over their data. They’re moving their major products and services to a model where personal data they collect from customers as they use their devices will be classified as either Required or Optional. 
- Controversies / scandals: Microsoft accidentally exposed 250 customer records. 
- Privacy in products: Microsoft limits collection of customer data to four specific data categories: Customer data, Service-generated data, Diagnostic data, and Professional services data.

## Apple: 
- Privacy policy: Apple’s Privacy Policy describes how Apple collects, uses, and shares your personal data. 
- Data collection: The data Apple collects about you is outlined in its privacy policy which broadly outlines what they collect. 
- Controversies / scandals: There was a recent lawsuit over Apple’s data collection practices in first-party apps like the App Store. 
- Privacy in products: Sorry, I didn't fine any information about this in my dataset.

Overview: Both companies have privacy policies that outline how they collect, use, and share user’s personal information. Microsoft has a model where personal data is classified as either Required or Optional while Apple broadly outlines what they collect. There was a recent lawsuit over Apple’s data collection practices but I couldn’t find any recent controversies related to Microsoft.
