In particular, "relying" on local connections and not "storing" it on Microsoft's servers is not the same thing as "never sending data over the internet" to begin with. When disconnected there is no maintained data, but rather a local cache on the user's PC for some items. Your Phone relies on local connections through Wi-Fi (the iPhone also needs Bluetooth), but the system never takes your data and stores it on Microsoft's servers. This page claims the following, but I find it unsatisfactory: It makes me wonder about the privacy implications. It requires a Microsoft account, but I don't really see why that should be necessary for a local connection between my phone and my computer. I'm trying to decide whether or not to use the Your Phone app on Windows, and not finding much information on it.
