<p>NEW YORK Startpage.com, The World's Most Private Search Engine, is welcoming Web users upset by revisions to Microsoft's terms of service. Bing has announced new changes that suggest it will alter search results using cloud-based personal information.</p><p>According to Startpage, Microsoft is claiming unprecedented new powers over user data. Under the old terms, contents of emails sent through its Hotmail service might be used "solely to the extent necessary to provide the service." Starting September 27, Microsoft can pry into Hotmail messages and its other cloud services, such as Skydrive, to profile users and deliver them targeted advertising -- even change the search results they receive.</p><p>Startpage spokesperson Dr. Katherine Albrecht denounced Microsoft's new policies.</p><p>"Hotmail users will be stunned to learn that their emails are now fair game," she says. "People don't like being spied on and served censored search results. If I send an email to somebody, I don't expect my comments to be reflected in my search results the next day. Email messages should be private and so should search results, and the twain should never meet."</p><p><a href="http://www.heraldonline.com/2012/09/10/4251172/private-search-engine-startpage.html">Keep reading...</a></p>
