As well as the keyboard entry of typed notes, Evernote supports image capture from cameras on supported devices, and the recording of voice notes. In some situations, text that appears in captured images can be recognized using OCR and annotated. Evernote also supports touch and tablet screens with handwriting recognition. Evernote web-clipping plugins are available for the most popular Internet browsers that allow marked sections of webpages to be captured and clipped to Evernote. If no section of a webpage has been highlighted, Evernote can clip the full page. Evernote also supports the ability to e-mail notes to the service, allowing for automated note entry via e-mail rules or filters. Where suitable hardware is available, Evernote can automatically add geolocation tags to notes. The online service also allows selected files to be shared for viewing and editing by other users, and allows integration with Twitter for storing or forwarding tweets. Users can also use Twitter to add notes to Evernote remotely, by sending tweets from any Twitter-capable device.

In terms of sharing my privacy with the said application, I have no specific concerns. The said application would like to receive these information in order for us to benefit well and make use of the features of this application.

            This application is free and can be downloaded to mobile devices, tablets, or other gadgets from the App Store, the Mac App Store, Google Play, Windows Store, the Chrome Web Store, and it is also available on kindle fire. The user could also choose to upgrade to premium, for only $4.99 per year. This upgrade would include file attachments, enhanced app widgets, external calendar access, and finally there would be no ads.                         

            When you sign up, the application would let you choose to sign up with your Facebook account, Google account, or just make a new one. This app uses HTTPS to ensure that the information is encrypted as it travels over the internet. If a user chooses not to sign up with Facebook or Google, there are a few different reasons why they ask for the email address. First, it is easier to remember, and should you forget your password, they can email the user a link for resetting the password. When possible, they attempt to capture the geographic location when a user signs up for an account. They do this to help filter content appropriate to the user’s location, such as showing schools and teachers nearby. Information about the device a user uses to access to this application and services is captured to uniquely identify the devices to sync and to detect potential abuse of the system. This includes device identifiers, operating system versions, web browser information, IP addresses, device names and types.  

            As a user of myHOMEWORK, I haven’t had any concerns in terms of privacy. The application gets the necessary information that they need in order for the user to have a better experience from the app. It doesn’t get too much information that would be of concern or would elicit some sort of problems. Furthermore, the responsibility still lies within the user’s decision, whether he/she would like to share such information or not.
