What is Microsoft Rewards?

The new Microsoft Rewards is basically the organisation's new approach to gather more user data. The data collection system of this latest interface concerns regular users of Microsoft services such as Bing users. If you have a Microsoft Rewards account, you will be eligible to earn points, rewards, and charity. Users can choose to use those points to donate to charitable organisations as well.

But, apart from this, the Microsoft Rewards program is guilty of tracking user data such as what a user searches on Microsoft Bing, what websites they visit and how often, what time of day are they online, and more. However, one must understand that the tech giant is not interested in a single individual but it is trying to culminate general consumer behaviour which includes tracking their online time and usage. This data is used to make Bing better search engines, improve its performance, plan promotions, and strategize which ads and products to display. However, you will earn rewards will using the Microsoft Rewards Program. These rewards can later be donated to real charitable organisations which seems significantly righteous in one manner.
