Privacy and Data Handling
Understand what stays local, when cloud calls happen, and how to control that boundary.
Privacy is a product boundary, not just a marketing statement.
Local by Default
- Core indexing and search run on your Mac.
- Local libraries remain usable without network connectivity.
- Folder-level indexes stay with your media location.
Cloud-Enhanced Scenarios
- Cloud calls are tied to plan status and available budget.
- Cloud enhancement is additive; local retrieval path remains available.
- Teams can define policy for when cloud enhancement is allowed.
