Microsoft to buy Nokia’s device and services business
Microsoft’s CPO, Brendon Lynch
Microsoft’s transition into the mobile industry is going from strength to strength with the software titan set to acquire Finish phone maker Nokia’s Device and Services business in April.
In a joint email, Nokia’s VP and Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer, Chad Fentress and Microsoft’s Chief Privacy Officer, Brendon Lynch, stated that when the transaction is complete, a new Microsoft-Finnish affiliate will take responsibility for the phone maker’s clients’ “personal data and contractual relationships for products and services related to the business.”
They also assured clients that the software giant “cares deeply” about their client’s privacy protection of personal data and would continue to collect and use personal data the same way Nokia has resulting in an experience that is no different despite the sale.
Once sales have completed, Nokia Devices and Services business will become part of Microsoft Mobile Oy, a Finnish subsidiary of Microsoft.
The email served as notice to Nokia clients of the changes but did not mention of any changes in policy. However, it is likely that minor changes will have to come into effect once the sale is complete, and users of the Finnish brand should most likely take note of the privacy policy and terms of service.
It is also unclear if Nokia will change its name.
