But if "Saferoom" means anything more than that (e.g., the Saferoom company, the company's servers, etc.), then it's not true that "Saferoom" needs access in order to function and encrypt notes. It depends what you mean by "Saferoom" in this sentence. If by "Saferoom" you are referring only to the Saferoom app/software that is located entirely on my iOS device and nowhere else, then yes, I understand that "Saferoom" needs access to my notes in order to encrypt them. " Because to work with encrypted notes Saferoom needs to read them obviously." Even if Saferoom only had access to certain notes, the notes in question would be precisely those notes that I want to keep most secure. This would be a step in the right direction, I think, but it doesn't totally solve the issue. " A small question: what if Saferoom would ask you to let it read only the notes that Saferoom has created ? The permissions would be the same (read full notes), but only those created by Saferoom?" Please don't expect a fast reply, dev support seems very slow these days.Ī small question: what if Saferoom would ask you to let it read only the notes that Saferoom has created? The permissions would be the same (read full notes), but only those created by Saferoom? Because to work with encrypted notes Saferoom needs to read them obviously. Let me ask some questions related to that to Evernote Dev support, maybe, we can come up with some solution here. This extension also does not need access to your account. And you can use Saferoom Chrome browser extension to decrypt the notes.
Remember, that desktop versions of Saferoom don't require any permissions and don't connect with Evernote cloud, and communicate only with local Evernote app where you assign a notebook to work with. Until the Evernote API limitation is fixed, I'll just keep confidential stuff out of Evernote.Ĭompletely understand. Blaming the problem on Evernote rather than Saferoom is fine with me, but that does not eliminate the problem. Saferoom seems to be saying, " We won't view any of your notes, but in order to use our service, you have to tell Evernote that it's OK for us to view your notes." This falls short of the sort of security guarantee that I'm looking for.
