Accidentally used AI cleanup- worried about 3rd party accessing my notes

Hello,

I saw on the Evernote App on my android phone, there seems to be a new "AI cleanup" feature. I clicked on it just to figured I would try it.

But I didn't read the fine print closely enough. It does say something along the lines of, by using this, you're agreeing to send your note content to a third party for the AI to function.

It's too late now, of course. But I am uncomfortable with the idea of others being able to read my private information in my notes.

Was the content of just that singular note sent? Or are all my notes now available to this third party?

I know it probably sounds like an overreaction on my part but I do have things like passwords and private info in my notes so I just wanted to check that I didn't basically ruin my privacy for the app.

Thank you.

Just the single note, and I believe there is some verbiage along the lines that once the AI work has been done, the content of the note is deleted.

It is also recommended that Evernote not be used for password storage and instead use a password app such as 1Password instead.  Also, consider activating 2FA on your Evernote account, if not already done, to further protect it.
