If this is the case, you pretty much rule out everything that means Kobo doesn't track something.
Syncing highlights and notes, by it's very nature, means Kobo has information on you. You either get ease of use, or privacy. Not just with Kobo. This is true of any company that syncs information for you.
If I've not misunderstood, and you want your notes, annotations and highlights to sync across devices, this severely limits how you can set things up. 1) they have to be books bought from Kobo. 2) the devices have to be logged in the same account as you bought them 3) you have to turn on your wifi to sync.
You can however turn off sharing analytics with Kobo.
If you just want to make annotations, highlights, etc, but have no interest in syncing across more than one device, then ignore above. If you just want them backed up, but are not so concerned of having them be able to be restored in the case you need to factory reset, this is also possible. But if you want them to be backed up and restored after a reset, on new devices, phones or anything similar, then the above does apply.
Sideloaded books, even ones converted to kepub format, don't allow for syncing. Some people are really frustrated by this and complain it's not like Kindle, but it's afaik because of the stricter privacy laws in Canada (kind of home of Kobo) that this is the case.
