This needs more info.

  1. Do you mean decks you have publicly shared?
  2. Decks that aren’t shared but synced with AnkiWeb?
  3. Decks that are not shared and not synced and only used on your device locally?

Don’t sync to AnkiWeb, only to servers you personally control. Block all in and outgoing connections of anki via a firewall and only allow those you explicitly want (allow rules should be very narrow).

I meant decks that are in anki web and not shared. Thanks.

Those are covered by AnkiWeb’s Privacy Policy. https://ankiweb.net/account/privacy

I think the moderators are able to view the contents of your notes as well. At least that’s what i inferred from a past post. But that’s only a handful of people

Ah, the privacy policy already mentions this
