Yesterday, Evernote announced a radical change in its privacy policy. The company stated that some of its employees would have the ability to access user notes. Following the general outcry on the Web, Evernote decided to backtrack.
Evernote, the new Big Brother in the analysis of the documents of the Net surfers? If this question was legitimate yesterday, it is no longer true today. The company purely and simply cancels this clause of its general conditions of use. In a post entitled "Evernote reviews the change in its privacy policy in response to [users'] feedback," the giant of the note-taking makes a clean slate and leaves on new foundations. "Evernote reaffirms its commitment to maintaining privacy at the center of our business. As a result, we will not implement the previously announced changes to privacy policy that were to come into effect on January 23, 2017. "
In the end, employees will no longer be able to put their noses in the notes taken by users of the service. On the other hand, the analysis carried out by the Evernote IA will continue to be exploited. "We are delighted with what we can offer to Evernote's customers, through the use of automatic learning, but we must ask for permission, and do not assume that we have it. We are sorry to have disappointed our customers, and we are reviewing our privacy policy. "Said Greg Chiemingo, director of communications for Evernote.
