This hardly frees you from Google's data gathering. They will have records of your IP address used to collect the emails and your access history, so they know (roughly) where you live, what times of day you are active, and can probably infer stuff like when you are on holiday. If you are in the same house as someone else, they probably use Google too and the shared IP address lets Google tie the two identities together. So they get to discover your relationships too.

- briandear 9y agoIsn’t that assuming you are using the web mail and not en email client?
- jonknee 9y agoOP asked for no ads, not for an email host that knows nothing about its users... (Which can have its perks if someone tries to hack your account.)
