deviate from the code we produce and ship on our end.</p>

encrypted support to standardnotes@protonmail.com, we use Protonmail.
Apart

Google's reCAPTCHA for
spam control.</p>
<p>This summarizes the list of external services we use in our daily operation.</p>
<p>When it comes to protecting your sensitive, actual data, we're proud to rely on no
other entity than the laws of mathematics and cryptography.
Your notes are always
encrypted with a secure key that no one has besides you, and this key never leaves your
computer or touches a cloud.
Simply put: you are the only person that can read your private notes.</p>
