The current kerfuffle over Evernote's upcoming privacy policy change has highlighted an existing situation that users should have known about but to which clearly many were oblivious. Nobody reads terms & conditions and privacy policies when they sign up for a service.
In short, if you're upset that Evernote's proposed new privacy policy will mean staff can read your notes, you haven't read the existing privacy policy carefully enough. What it does is introduce new machine-learning features to Evernote (which you can opt-out of if you wish), and yet the new privacy policy has accidentally highlighted to users that Evernote's private notes weren't quite as private as they imagined. The new Evernote privacy policy doesn't change any of this. Please visit our Information for Authorities page for more information.
