There's more:

| Microsoft may access and/or disclose your personal information if
| required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action
| is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with
| legal process served on Microsoft or the site; (b) protect and defend
| the rights or property of Microsoft, including its MSN and Windows
| Live family of Web sites; or (c) act in urgent circumstances to
| protect the personal safety of users of Microsoft services or members
| of the public.

| Addresses not on the legitimate list will be sent to Microsoft and
| checked against a frequently updated list of Web sites that have been
| reported to Microsoft as phishing, suspicious, or legitimate Web
| sites. Along with these addresses some standard information from your
| computer such as IP address, browser type, and Phishing Filter version
| number are sent to Microsoft.
