Privacy and your data

What leaves your Mac, and when
Section titled “What leaves your Mac, and when”| When | What leaves | Where it goes |
|---|---|---|
| InkDo checks for updates (once a day, or when you ask) | A request for the latest version | GitHub, InkDo’s releases |
| You first export with Typeset PDF, Word, LaTeX, PDF slides or PowerPoint | A download of Pandoc and Typst, once | Their own GitHub releases |
| You use AI with a cloud provider | The selection or paragraph you asked about | That provider, with your own key |
| You use AI with Ollama | The same text | Ollama on your Mac |
| You press Publish to the web | The note’s page and its images | InkDo’s servers |
| You turn on Edit together | A copy of the note and its comments | InkDo’s servers |
| You sign in | Your email address and name | InkDo’s servers |
If none of these happen, nothing leaves.
