Discover What Bing Knows About You
Here’s a quick tip for tonight.
If you’ve ever used Bing (Microsoft’s own search engine attempting to compete with Google) you might be interested to learn about what sort of information it has built up about you. At the moment, it might be more for the sake of curiosity but for those Bing converts it’s certainly worth knowing what is being stored.
All you have to do is visit https://choice.live.com and login to the Microsoft Personal Data Dashboard. In the various tabs across the top of the page, you’ll be able to see things like your Bing search history, you interests and your Microsoft Advertising opt in status. It might be a good opportunity to be proactive in disabling the use of your information for the purposes of targeted or social advertising .
It’s a wonder why this is buried away for few people to discover though.

In 2012, I obtained my Masters of Science in Information Technology through the University of New South Wales @ The Australia Defence Force Academy (UNSW@ADFA).
I was also part of an online community known as the Panasonic Insider Crew in the capacity of “Insider Guru” for Panasonic Australia where I interacted with other tech enthusiasts and find out more about Panasonic's latest gadgets.
I love technology, gadgets, and the Internet and maintain a keen interest in these areas locally, nationally, and globally. I hope by sharing my views on these topics that people will receive an honest point of view from someone with a genuine interest in these topics.
