Information collected, processed or transmitted
PnP-X enabled devices may advertise their presence on the subnet by broadcasting data, such as the device's IP address and a unique identifier, over the subnet. Be aware that PnP-X supports a wide range of devices, including network drives and devices (such as digital cameras) that could contain personal information. Also, when you install a PnP-X enabled device, the Windows Update client contacts the online Windows Update service to find and download device drivers. The Windows Update client handles all of the communication between the computer and Windows Update. To learn more about the information collected by Windows Update and how it is used, see the Windows Update Privacy Statement at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=50142.
Use of information
When you install a PnP-X enabled device, the information that is sent to the online Windows Update service is used to download and install the appropriate device drivers. Information sent over the subnet is used to identify the device and enable access to the features offered by the device.
Choice and control
Administrators can determine the search locations for drivers, or prevent users and computers from automatically accessing Windows Update. There is no facility for disabling PnP-X or for controlling which information is sent by a PnP-X enabled device once it is accessed across a network. Before attaching PnP-X enabled devices to your network, we recommend that you verify that your network is secure. For example, if you use a cable modem to connect to the Internet, consider installing a router that isolates your area of the network from that of other users on the network. Or, if you have a wireless network, we recommend that you turn on an authentication service such as Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). For more information about helping to secure a wireless network, see Windows Help and Support.
