you are right that it tries to respect your privacy, however I personally do not believe we should be relying on Bing search index's for researches. The problem in this case might not necessary be privacy, but rather that by relying on Microsoft to filter the internet for us to provide the results gives them substantial amount of power over the information the read and research about. I think we need to diversify the indexes we use. like using searx, brave search or https://www.mojeek.com/

"Ecosia's search results have been provided by Bing since 2017.[8] Advertisements provided by Microsoft Advertising appear alongside search results, and in 2022 Ecosia stated that it earns "a few cents" on every click of an ad, as well as a portion of the price of a purchase made through an affiliate link.[9]
In 2018, Ecosia committed to becoming a privacy-friendly search engine. Searches are encrypted (presumably with standard HTTPS) and not stored permanently, nor is data sold to third-party advertisers. The company states in its privacy policy that it does not create personal profiles based on search history or use external tracking tools like Google Analytics.[10]"
