I really don't believe that. It reminds me of the hysteria about Windows 10 telemetry (remember when people called it a keylogger?). Putting it in the cloud would cause huge backlash and brand damage. But somehow they're getting that backlash despite not putting it in the cloud.

Computer forensics experts would like a word. Your past activity has never been private from "yourself". The added privacy risk here is highly marginal. If I steal someone's laptop, I can Rewind and see what was in a PowerPoint slide they opened 2 weeks ago. But that PowerPoint is almost certainly still on the local drive anyway, so that makes no difference.
You can also rewind and see their whole banking workflow. Or you can rewind and see that they like people of the same sex and that's a death penalty in some place, etc....
