[kictanet] Privacy and Email Providers

[James Wanjau]

It's textual analysis, what most search engines already have that we see as
search suggestions.

And MS Outlook does the same, it's hardly a privacy issue.


​
And as for email providers, last I heard, using Google's public services-
Gmail, Plus, Drive, Search, Maps, YouTube, Play- means that data you input
is theirs too. I could be wrong though.
