> legally binding guaratee that users’ data will be maintained for 100 years That almost sounds like a threat to commit a crime in certain jurisdictions.

It’s (or was) the promise for you to be able to access your data for so long, provided you agree. Not hoarding private data against your will.




Seems like a lot of these replies are skipping over the “almost” in my comment. I was not being literal. I was pointing out that they simply assumed that all users would want this. There was no “provided you agree” disclaimer in their comments. If anything, the specifics of it being 100 years actually implies that consent isn’t even a consideration since we can assume that nearly all Evernote users will be dead in 100 years. It is a strange reminder that so few people were concerned about this sort of thing in 2012.
