Security & privacy
Understand the line between local-first saved content and account-level data.
Keep Mates is designed so your archive and your account are not the same thing. Saved references stay local; account data exists to handle access, billing, and subscription state.
The privacy boundary
Saved references live locally in the browser. The account site handles authentication, billing state, and license access.
That split reduces the amount of saved browsing material that needs to leave your device.
When to check the full policy
If you need exact legal language around anonymous device identifiers, billing processors, retention, or third-party providers, go to the privacy policy.
FAQ
How should I use Security & privacy in Keep Mates?
Security & privacy works best when it supports retrieval instead of raw accumulation. Start with the core workflow described above, keep the structure lightweight, and organize only as much as future-you will realistically use.
Does Security & privacy change what is stored locally?
No. Keep Mates stays local-first across this workflow as well. Your saved references remain in the browser, while the website account is used for sign-in, billing, and license access.
What should I do if Security & privacy is not behaving the way I expect?
First check whether the expectation comes from a cloud-sync bookmark tool or from Keep Mates' local-first model. If the issue is really about billing, activation, or repeating product behavior, use the support page for direct help.
