It looks like EN is off to a bad start in its latest policy changes. I am linking to their blog as there are too many articles about it to link to.

Good luck EN,

Thanks.
I read the policy when Evernote sent a note to users last week or so. It’s so convoluted that there’s no reason to expect Evernote won’t be reading and “evaluating” user data.
But, really, is there any reason to expect anyone in industry or government gives a whit about privacy?
For years, now, I’ve never put a single personal thing into Evernote. It’s a clipper bucket for articles and clipping segments of web sites, and does OK that way.

I’ve been gradually pulling out of Evernote for a while now. This will only accelerate my exit.

Evernote CEO: “We recently announced an update to Evernote’s privacy policy that we communicated poorly, and it resulted in some understandable confusion.”
Translation: “We thought we could slip these changes past our users without them bothering to read them.”

Evernote just sent out this new message revoking their previous policy changes:
“Evernote recently announced a change to its privacy policy and received a lot of customer feedback expressing concerns. We’ve heard that feedback and we apologize for the poor communication.
“We have decided not to move forward with those changes that would have taken effect on January 23, 2017. Instead, in the coming months we will be revising our existing Privacy Policy. The main thing to know is this: your notes remain private, just as they’ve always been.”
I ask you, is the OutlinerSoftware.com forum powerful or what?!
Happy holidays!
