Should you be using a more private office suite instead?Microsoft Office is one of the most used suites of programs worldwide.

Microsoft is also very closed lipped about the details of their data collection. We dive into a report that recently came out of Germany looking at the privacy of Microsoft. We also look at a privacy-focused office suite alternative, LibreOffice, and how it compares.00:00 Intro00:42 What is Microsoft’s Office Suite?01:37 Online vs Offline Products03:08 Connected Experiences04:27 Microsoft’s Data Collection Practices07:20 Telemetry and Diagnostic Events Explained08:52 Types of Diagnostic Data Microsoft Collects10:05 Aria11:22 LibreOffice13:48 Other recommendationsRemember, your privacy is largely in your hands, and you can choose not to use products and services that collect all your data.
