I'm not saying that they do...but they could do it and no one would know about it.
The big difference is that for the other tools, the database doesn't leave my machine and the data stays more under my control. If those applications are doing something with the data other then what I expect, then I'll probably detect it. Plus, most have the source code available, so I can look at it. When I give you the database, I have no idea what you do with it. And as there is data in the database that is specific to me and my Kobo account.

Sorry about that. You can test it with my personal notes with login: testkobonotes@gmail.com and password: test . Just don't upload any data using this account please.
Thanks, that means I can see some of what the site is doing.

The main comment is that it is only showing the highlighted text. Any annotation added to the highlight text is lost, as is the location in the book.

I've tested it and it works. If you decide to use this website and somehow it does not upload your file, just let me know.
I'm not likely to do it. I use annotations a lot, but they are nearly all transitory to mark an error I want to fix, or something I want to look up when I am at a computer.
