Evernote Reverses Course on Privacy Policy Changes
After several days of customer and general tech community backlash, Evernote has reversed their policy that would have allowed a select number of their employees read your notes. The change was announced late last night on the Evernote Blog where it is made clear, in bold, that employees will not be able to read your notes without your express permission. Good.
In addition, we will make machine learning technologies available to our users, but no employees will be reading note content as part of this process unless users opt in. We will invite Evernote customers to help us build a better product by joining the program.
Frankly, this is how this should have been in the first place and it is good to see the company respond to consumers and their customers.
