We determine that the access, preservation or disclosure of information is required or permitted by law to protect the rights, property or personal safety of Evernote and users of the Service, or is required to comply with applicable laws, including compliance with warrants, court orders, subpoenas, legal process, or other lawful government requests (including in response to public authorities to meet national security or law enforcement requirements).We believe it is necessary to investigate potential violations of our Terms of Service, to enforce the Terms of Service, or where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud or potential threats against persons, property or the systems on which we operate the Service.Some provisions that allow employee access to your data include the following: Human employees are still allowed to personally access notes for a variety of reasons outlined in Evernote’s privacy policy, and this policy is already enacted as we speak. This basically means that a small set of Evernote employees will be able to monitor the company’s machine learning efforts to ensure that it’s working as expected.Įvernote is allowing customers to opt out of its machine learning. To opt out of Evernote’s machine learning features, you’ll need to log in to your account, and uncheck the Improved Experience checkbox under Personal Settings.īut opting out of machine learning only prevents the computers from processing your notes, and humans from reviewing your notes for machine learning-related purposes. What is new, and what will be enacted on January 23, 2017, is a change that allows some Evernote employees to exercise oversight of machine learning technologies applied to account content. In other words, if you use Evernote currently, you are already subject to having your notes accessed by company employees. These “other reasons” that Evernote refers to are a part of an already ratified privacy policy that’s been in place for some time now. It also plainly states that there is no way for customers to opt out of this. Although it appears that this particular policy has already been in place for some time, an upcoming January update to the privacy policy has shed additional light on the issue.įor starters, Evernote plainly states that a limited subset of its employees will be able to read the content of the notes that customers have stored there. Not interested in potentially sharing the content of your Evernote notes with the company’s employees? Then your only option will be to leave the service, because you can’t opt out.
