Microsoft releases guidelines for customer privacy

October 18, 2006 (IDG News Service) -- Criticized in the past for an
initiative that would require the company to collect and catalog personal
information about its customers, Microsoft Corp. on Tuesday released an
internal document about how it protects customers' privacy in the hopes that
other companies will adopt similar practices.

The company publicly published a 49-page document, called Microsoft¹s
Privacy Guidelines for Developing Software Products and Services, at the
International Association of Privacy Professionals Privacy Academy 2006 in
Toronto.
