Evernote is generating concern among millions of its users. The company behind the popular app is testing out machine learning algorithms, but with it, comes a new privacy policy that allows Evernote's staff to look on your personal content.

Questions about Evernote's privacy policy have ran along the minds of many users. The company announced the new privacy policy to be effective on January 24, 2017. According to Fortune, the app has genuine reasons why they'd want to look at some of the private content, which includes a lawful court order and investigation against breach of policy. Evernote also said that it will protect users by preventing against spam and malware. However, the concern of most users is the vaguely worded section of the Privacy Policy. It only states that employees will look at your notes for troubleshooting and app maintenance.

According to a post by Ars Technica, journalist Stacy-Marie Ishmael worries about the policy. The former BuzzFeed News Editor also noted that the vague policy section is too broad to be inclusive, given the President-elect Donald Trump's stance against journalists. She worries that the policy might become against journalistic privacy.

It's possible that future journalists will have to stay away from Evernote. Preserving a level of anonymity is important to journalism. The recent news of Trump's ban on Muslims makes it possible to breach individual privacy. However, Evernote ensures its users that employees chosen to check user data will have to pass an extensive background check. The employees will also receive security and privacy training to ensure that they are up-to-date. Evernote is reassuring its users that they will follow industry standards as well.

Individual and business users can opt-out of the service, should they have issues against breach of privacy.

Stay tuned for the latest news and updates on Evernote's new policy.
