imdea networks

The imdea networks tag collects WindowsForum coverage of privacy and tracking research from IMDEA Networks, the Madrid-based research institute. The tagged discussion centers on a study of nine AI assistants, including Microsoft Copilot, that examined how web clients and Android apps handled conversation URLs, auto-generated chat names, prompts, and screenshots. According to the authors, several clients and apps shared such data with outside firms, often alongside persistent user identifiers. Copilot was not among the web clients that did this, though it still contacted advertising and analytics services. The thread also touches on Google Ads contacts and Android tracking, making this tag useful for readers following AI privacy research and platform data-sharing practices.
