<i>When you share Your Content with other people, you understand that they may be able to, on a worldwide basis, use, save, record, reproduce, transmit, display (and on HealthVault delete) Your Content without compensating you. If you do not want others to have that ability, do not use the Services to share Your Content.</i><p>The wording is ambiguous, but it seems as if Microsoft is saying that they aren&#x27;t responsible for other people stealing your copyrighted works or deleting(!) your health information. While that is technically true (i.e. you can&#x27;t hold Facebook or Pinterest or Instagram liable if someone scrapes your public posts and resells the images&#x2F;videos), the wording makes it sound like they are trying to discourage you from even using their services in the first place. It&#x27;s a really odd way to get the point across; they could have done a much better job of it.<p>The HealthVault thing is particularly worrying; why call the service a &quot;vault&quot; if it can&#x27;t prevent a third party from destroying the data?
