Probably not part of the ideal customer profile here, but my initial reaction is alarm over privacy/security angles.

> We collect information that you provide directly to us, such as: [...] Snippets and workspace you create.

> We may share your information in the following situations: [...] With third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf.

> We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to maintain the security of your personal information.

Leads to questions/concerns like:

1. Are snippets always readable by the remote server? What if someone wants transmit very sensitive information like passwords or medical histories between their devices?

2. Does "services on our behalf" include companies that try to determine personal information for advertisement-targeting etc? If it just means "our remote LLM vendor", then the privacy policy of that unidentified service becomes very important.

3. Do "appropriate measures" mean the snippets are encrypted at rest? Is that encryption done in a way that each user has their own salt?

Hey, Thanks for your comment. 1. Snippets are only readable by its owners. 2. We don't share any data with third parties except database/LLM providers we use. 3. Currently we are missing encryption but we are working on it and will be there in a week.
