Evernote security???

I was eating lunch with an IT exec from Perry Ellis who posed a very pertinent question,
“If Evernote is free then certainly they are mining the notes that your save in their app for data. So, if you are taking notes at an event (i.e. Garter, Google, Microsoft) and you are under NDA then what if Evernote mines that note and gets the NDA information and sells or publishes it?”
Like most people I haven’t fully studied their EULA for this kind of security information, but it is certainly a compelling question. If they aren’t mining our note data, then why is it free?
