Privacy for personal family notes on a shared device

Understand what local storage means

Nuvia keeps notes and lists in the browser without creating a personal Nuvia account on these pages. Someone using the same browser profile on the same device may be able to see those records. Local storage does not automatically create an encrypted space accessible only to you. Consider the actual device and browser arrangement when deciding which information to enter, especially on a shared computer or phone.

Keep the backup file private too

A downloaded Nuvia backup is plain JSON. Someone who can read the file can also read its notes. Check where it is saved and who can access that location. Before clearing records, make sure any copy you need is stored appropriately and that you selected the intended file. Review browser and device settings for your actual system rather than assuming a backup provides its own password protection.

Your next little step

Choose one idea that suits your family and try it at your own pace. Every family has different needs.

An example in practice

On a shared device, you could first explore saving and backup with a non-sensitive example note. Find where the download went. Clearing that test record in the application does not automatically delete a file already downloaded elsewhere.
