Does Evernote sell my data?
Evernote’s privacy policy says it is “not in the business of selling or renting your personal data.” The same policy says it may disclose personal data to third parties in connection with its own personalised advertising, and it honours opt-out requests for the “sale or sharing” of personal information for targeted advertising.
What the policy says, in full
- Evernote shows ads on its own services and on third-party services, with personalised ads based on consent.
- It treats a Global Privacy Control signal as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for targeted advertising.
- Its privacy policy was last updated on 1 October 2026. For accounts created before that date, the new policy takes effect on 1 December 2026.
Your notes themselves
Evernote encrypts notes at rest with Google-managed keys; they are not end-to-end encrypted. Its privacy policy says employees access note content only in limited cases, such as with your permission for support, or to comply with legal obligations.
Evernote states it does not use your content to train AI models and does not permit third parties to do so.
A notes app with nothing to sell
Prevon has no account, no analytics and no tracking, and encrypts every note on your device with a key we never see. There is no profile of you on our side to sell or share. Prevon is in a private beta and has not had an independent security audit. It is designed so that we cannot read your notes; until someone outside the company has checked that, “designed” is the accurate word.
Statements about other products are read from their own published documentation as of . If any of it is out of date, tell us and we will correct the page.
Prevon is in private beta.
