  1. Privacy concerns while adding google calendar


    Hi I was trying to add google calendar to the Windows 10 calendar. In the process of adding, I noticed that Microsoft will have wide-ranging access and editing permissions to my Gmail, contacts, and calendar. I am okay with that in general. But I checked Microsoft's privacy policy and two things stood out that concerned me. Could anyone tell me if Microsoft uses my data to sell to third-party or uses any personally identifiable information in a manner that exposes it to non-Microsoft entities . Here are the two points from their privacy policy that were concerning:


    •Advertise and market to you, which includes sending promotional communications, targeting advertising, and presenting you with relevant offers
    •....We also share data with Microsoft-controlled affiliates and subsidiaries.....


    Thoughts? Also are there other issues that I should be concerned about?


    thank you.

    :)

    Syncing Google Calendars with Calendar App

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.

    From the description provide, I understand that you are unable to sync Outlook calendar and Google calendar.

    I would suggest you to use Outlook.com as the first step and then try to import the Google calendar ics file.

    Please follow below.

    Export Google Calendar

    • Logon to your Google Account.
    • Click the gear button.
    • Follow the path Settings> Calendars> Export calendars.
    • It downloads as a zip, hence you have to extract the .ics file.
    Import Google calendar to Outlook.

    • Login to Outlook.com.
    • Click on Import in the context menu.
    • Select the Google Calendar .ics file to import it.
    All your Outlook events and appointments are now either in Google Calendar, whichever one you chose to import to .

    You can also refer to the below link for additional information on Mail and Calendar apps for Windows 10 Help

    Mail and Calendar for Windows 10 FAQ

    Refer to the section Resolve Sync issues in Mail and Calendar apps in Windows 10.
