What this feature does
This feature collects Internet and intranet network connectivity information such as the Domain Name Service (DNS) suffix of your computer, forest name, and gateway address of networks that your computer connects to. The Network Awareness feature makes the connectivity information available through an application programming interface (API) to applications on your computer that might require the information to function properly.
Information collected, processed or transmitted
No personal information is intentionally transferred or stored by this feature. Network connectivity profiles are stored in the registry. Network connectivity profiles can include the Network List Service, which provides a history of all networks visited and the date and time of the last connection.
Use of information
The information is not sent to Microsoft, but it is made available to applications on your computer that require network connectivity information.
Choice and control
The Network Location Awareness and Network List Services are on by default. An administrator can disable them using the options provided in the Services snap-in in Administrative Tools. Disabling them is not recommended because that will prevent some Windows features from functioning correctly.
