"In order to provide some of the core features in Google Apps products, our automated systems will scan and index some user data. For example:
-Email is scanned so we can perform spam filtering and virus detection.
-Priority Inbox, a Gmail feature, scans email message to identify which messages are considered important and which are considered not important.
-If you are using Google Apps (free edition), email is scanned so we can display contextually relevant advertising in some circumstances.
-Some user data, such as documents and email messages, are scanned and indexed so your users can privately search for information in their own Google Apps accounts.
*Google Apps data is not part of the general google.com index, except when users choose to publish information publicly."
I know, I know, you don't do that. Nope, no one does. Everything is fine and dandy. Smile every one, no problem here.
At one point the "homepage" of Hotmail was a huge ad space, stories from MSN, and a tiny link to "Inbox."
The new Outlook is so much better. If Hotmail had evolved that way earlier, I would not have switched to Gmail.
