Hi Baibhav, This was in August 2020. I have attached screenshots as a reply to Josh's reply above. It was early in the days so I could understand the founder perusing as a way of seeing how users are using the site, but not some random dude with a gmail. The logs were showing in my local storage on the browser. My notes were just test notes, so I didn't have anything important to worry about, but I never used Roam as a result.
Hey, clarifying (for anyone who sees this thread and not the other replies)
Roam actually DID NOT READ THEIR DATA (we have always had the policy of never accessing user data without explicit user permission). She just misunderstood what she was looking at.
