Group notes that were created within a group namespace previously
registered with Sysadmin (which will have a corresponding group on
Identity) will only be made accessible to that group (via a special
folder on share.kde.org) following the export/shutdown of Notes. These
pads can be denoted by the -private- in the name of the pad.

For all other files, they'll be made publicly accessible to a certain
degree, so i'd recommend blanking the content of any notes that
shouldn't be made public prior to the shutdown.
