I have been thinking about eventually upgrading my Windows 7 to Windows 10 but would not like Cortana to have unrestricted access to my emails (as stated in the answer to this question) or my calendar for that matter.

There are some instructions on how to remove Cortana from the system. For example there is the selected answer to this question although it's updated version states "Apparently, this trick stopped working at some point". The other answers to the question also indicate varying degrees of success.

I also have the concern that if I remove it, Microsoft may reinstall it later when they push an update to the machine.

So I wanted to know if there is another alternative of allowing it to run, but without access to the emails or the calendar?

  1. Click/tap on the Cortana icon (Windows+S) on the taskbar, click/tap on the Notebook icon and click on Permissions

  2. Turn On or Off the Contacts, email, calendar, & communication history permissions setting for what you want.
