Question

Ubuntu 14.04 privacy setting shows recent applications and files can be shown in dashboard and elsewhere. What here "elsewhere" means?

Answer 1

Other programs on your computer can access and use this information, too, for example the "Activity Journal" (package gnome-activity-journal).

The data is not transferred to Canonical or anyone else but only stored locally on your computer.
