> Card content is not encrypted on disk, as most users do not store sensitive material in their flashcards. If you’re thinking of memorizing passwords, they are better stored in a password manager instead.

> The cards and associated media files you add to AnkiWeb are private by default. We will only make them available to the public if you explicitly share them.
