4. Third-Party Services
The Product includes standard Ubuntu packages and repositories maintained by Canonical Ltd. These may connect to Ubuntu update servers when the user initiates system updates. Such connections are governed by Canonical's privacy policy, not by this policy.
Your use of Microsoft Azure is governed by Microsoft's privacy statement. Microsoft may collect usage and billing data related to your Azure subscription as described in their policies.
