I don’t see anything illegal about it, as long as it’s for market research purposes.

As for the age of 35… Let’s presume that people start purchasing software at the age of 18.

2016 - 18 = 1998

1998 can roughly be taken as the time the world wide web (and especially web-based software such as Hotmail) really took off. So perhaps what they are trying to see is if pre- and post-WWW generations have different attitudes and uses for Evernote, and which ones are more interested in or willing to test beta software. And maybe they could do some A/B testing of different features and visual styles based on age.
