FAQ
Common questions
Can Deeperguard or its host read my notes?
Stored notes: no. Notes, titles, and attachments are encrypted in your browser before sync. The service stores ciphertext only, except text you choose to send to Ask AI with Ollama Cloud, which passes through our server to ollama.com without being stored.
