It happened several years ago - when Conor was holding talks on Clubhouse. I had created an account with a few test notes and went back days later. The notes were not listed or linked anywhere. The person’s email or name was showing in the log but he was not even outed as an employee on linkedin at the time - so I originally thought someone has hacked my account or was accidentally given access to my notes. Then I asked the founder or the person and they said it was a new employee. I have screenshots somewhere but I don’t remember how i reached out to them - if it was a service chat, or email, or twitter, or clubhouse. I always check the network chatter on new sites I use - very enlightening about what they think of customers. A lot of times you see flags for things they want you or don’t want you to be, or what they want to upsell to you. Reactive sites put all kinds of logic in the front end where it doesn’t belong.

Thanks for elaborating! This is definitely not ok, and the response beyond unacceptable.

I've been an active user for a couple of years now and have substantial amount of information stored in Roam. I guess I should have known better than to have sensitive data stored in someone else's servers without encryption.

Time to explore Obsidian and see what the migration path looks like.
