Same reported (not re-verified here) roughly 2.2-million-user meeting-credential malware campaign as Chrome and Firefox - see Chrome row. Edge's distinguishing feature for this tracker is that it ships as the Windows default and is deeply integrated with Microsoft account sign-in, so a large share of its users never chose it and never reviewed its terms - they opened a new computer. Default-by-installation is a consent mechanism that appears nowhere in privacy law's model of how agreement works, and it governs an enormous fraction of actual browsing.

Terms

Arbitration

Same as Microsoft overall.

Data sharing

Same 2.2-million-user meeting-credential malware campaign as Chrome/Firefox (see Chrome row) — a shared, cross-browser incident, not Edge-specific. Governed by Microsoft's overall data practices (see Microsoft/Outlook row, Consumer Apps tab).

Fees and billing

Not itemized this pass.

Contacts

Privacy contact. No published privacy email; Microsoft routes requests via microsoft.com/concern/privacy (30-day response commitment)

Legal notice. PUBLIC COMPANY (MSFT). Service route: c/o General Counsel / Corporate Secretary, Redmond, Washington — the corporate address on the SEC Form 10-K cover page is the official address of record. Confirm the exact street address on the current 10-K at sec.gov/edgar, and check the state-of-incorporation registered agent (usually Delaware; most large filers use The Corporation Trust Company or Corporation Service Company) via the Secretary of State business-entity search. A registered agent MUST accept service, which is why it is the reliable channel when a company publishes no privacy address.

Mailing address. Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA
