Worst Privacy Policy Evernote? Update Allows Employees To Read Your Notes
Phil Libin, chief executive officer of Evernote Corp. Customers are furious about an update to the company's privacy policy. In a startling update to its privacy policy, note-taking app Evernote is allowing a select group of employees to read user content for the sake of improving its machine learning technology. What's perhaps more startling is that it appears Evernote employees have always been able to access user content, but somehow no one noticed. There's no clear way to opt out other than to quit the service entirely. On Twitter, Evernote users have been suitably outraged, calling the new privacy policy "disgraceful" and "hard to believe."
