Your material stays local unless you choose otherwise
Editing, previewing, exporting, and printing work locally. Network features remain limited and user-triggered.
- Libraries and templates are stored locally by default
- Local libraries are not uploaded automatically
- No student names, classes, device ID, logs, or activation codes are uploaded
- Community contributions require an explicit user action
- Feedback reports must be copied or submitted by the user
- Public IP is added only after the user requests diagnostic information
