That's pretty much the way it works now. If someone does not have Reviewer access to your Calendar folder and you mark an appointment as Free, it shouldn't appear in the free/busy grid.

Right, but I am talking about shared calendars. I don't want that people who
has read only access to my calendar will see any indication that I have a
Private Item in the Calendar, except the cases I marked my private
appointment as Busy or Out of the Office.
For Example:
I entered into my friend's birthday in the Calendar as the day event and
marked it as Free. I don't want anyone who has an access to my calendar to
know about this. Right now, they see: Private Apointment.

I see what you mean. I'm sure the folks at Microsoft who read these suggestions will appreciate that clarification.
