+# 🚨 Is Outlook quietly turning into Microsoft’s data collection machine?
+
+## Microsoft’s new "Outlook for Windows" is no longer just an email client—it’s a data-collection engine
+
+Microsoft’s new version of Outlook isn’t just an email client—it’s a _data
+pipeline_ feeding insights to over **801 external partners**. From your
+**emails, location**, and **device data** to even your **credentials**, Outlook
+could be tracking and sharing it—sometimes without your knowledge or consent.
+
+<!-- more -->
+
+If you're syncing Gmail, Yahoo, or other IMAP accounts through the app,
+Microsoft may be reading and storing that information too.
+
+And in the U.S.? There’s _no legal obligation_ to disclose this.
+
+This is not just a privacy issue—it’s a **digital trust crisis**.
+
+🔒 It’s time to rethink your inbox. Choose an email provider that prioritizes
+**security, transparency, and your privacy**—not profit from your personal data.
+
+👉 **Switch to privacy-first email, such as
+[Proton Mail](https://proton.me/mail), [Tuta](https://tuta.com/secure-email), or
+[Mozilla Thunderbird](https://www.thunderbird.net).** Protect your digital life
+before it’s quietly sold off in the background.
