where?

In the official documentation for the feature that critics never want to read.

In the interests of providing a better answer than "In the official documentation":

This is the Windows 10 retail EULA: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/Useterms/Retail/Windows/10/U...

It links to "aka.ms/privacy", which takes you to: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/privacystatement/default.asp...

There are some good examples of the categories of data that they collect and some information about which features, programs, and apps might collect that data. There are examples within the categories, but not an exhaustive list. Maybe there are more complete lists available for each separate feature. I'd be interested in seeing an explanation, collected into one place, of which pieces of data are influenced by which settings, which ones can't be controlled, etc.

But apparently not interested enough to actually search for it or realize that I've already posted the link multiple times in this thread?
