Privacy with Outlook.com

Google goes through every Gmail that's sent or received, looking for keywords so they can target Gmail users with paid ads. And there's no way to opt out of this invasion of your privacy. Click the link to learn about Gmail's tactics. http://www.keepyouremailprivate.com/ Outlook.com is different—we don't go through your email to sell ads. Alternatively, you can start translating your emails into Pig Latin- Google can't see those! Make the switch, use Outlook.
