The first step understands encryption the method for scrambling data so only authorized parties access it. Properly encrypted notes should stay anonymous without the chance of unauthorized access. Specifically, you want end-to-end encryption where the notes get encrypted on your device before syncing through services to remain unintelligible in transit and storage. Only your devices hold the encryption keys to unlock and display the original plaintext notes. When managed correctly, encryption keeps notes anonymous by preventing the cloud service itself or hackers from ever accessing readable copies. Just be sure to use strong master passwords and properly log out of devices to prevent unauthorized local access too.<\/p>\n
Choose zero-knowledge services\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n For cloud syncing, experts recommend \u2018zero-knowledge\u2019 services claiming no ability to access your encrypted data. Unless they hold the decryption keys, even court orders can\u2019t reveal content to them. Examples of zero-knowledge services include:<\/p>\n Scrutinize privacy policies of any service handling your data just in case, but zero-knowledge systems provide more confidence in true anonymity.<\/p>\n\n
