I'm baffled and a little creeped out.

I have a Kindle paperwhite and Kindle apps on my iPhone and iPad. I was waiting for an appointment and I had my iPhone with me and I decided to read a book while I was waiting. I downloaded a book in progress to my Kindle app on the iPhone. What I noticed is highlights in places in the book that I hadn't put there. There was also a note I hadn't put there. I hadn't gotten that far in the book yet on my other devices.

Now I am wondering about the privacy of the notes I have made in other books. These were notes and highlights that I was not intending to share. I don't see anywhere in the settings where I can determine whether or not my notes and highlights are private or not. I have no desire to see other people's notes either.

I have checked my account and all of the devices are correctly registered to the same account. I synchronized the iPhone and the Kindle device. The foreign highlights and notes continued to be present on the iPhone and not on the other devices.

I finally removed the book from the iPhone and redownloaded it. The foreign highlights and notes are now no longer there.

I do have a Goodreads account but I haven't been active on it for a long time, and none of my devices are linked to it.

Can anyone shed any light on this?
