How Enki Keeps Your Data Safe
Updated August 18, 2026 · 4 minute read
Private by architecture means designing the system so trust does not depend on a promise alone.
Your Library Starts on Your Device
Enki is local-first. Captures and edits are written to the durable library on your device before any network request. That is why saving stays fast and continues to work when the network does not. Sync reconciles changes later so your devices can agree.
Durable Content Is Encrypted Before Sync
The links, notes, media, and other durable content you save are encrypted using your content key before they leave the device. The encrypted form is what Enki stores in its database and object storage. A database or storage compromise should not turn into a readable copy of your library.
Useful Features Sometimes Need Temporary Processing
Enrichment and recommendation features may need to inspect a save. Enki places only the needed material into bounded, ephemeral processing. Plaintext processing data is never copied into the durable sync record or object storage. It is deleted when processing succeeds or reaches a final failure.
We Collect Less by Default
Enki does not sell your data and does not track you across other companies' apps or websites. Product analytics is disabled until you consent. Crash diagnostics, account identifiers, purchase status, and device delivery identifiers are used only to operate and protect the app.
You Stay in Control
You can delete individual saves, turn off optional analytics, manage notifications in iOS, and request account deletion from settings. Our Privacy Policy lists the information Enki handles, its purposes, service providers, retention, and your rights.
