Notion stores data on its secure servers. It is encrypted in transfer and at rest, though in-house administrators have access to it for support purposes.
How does notion protect my data?
Notion uses TLS everywhere, within the data center and out. Your data is encrypted at rest and in transit. We run 100% on the cloud using AWS within a virtual private network that cannot be accessed via the public internet, except via our public-facing proxy servers.
Does notion have folders?
Notion has a unique approach to organisation, but let’s stop pretending like they are doing us a favour by not having folders. Folders are easier to understand since we’ve been using them for decades. It seems we finally have an app that does it all.
One article stated that with Notion, when you close the app, you need an internet connection to get it started, which makes sense because it is a web-based app. It’s thus safe to conclude that Notion DOES NOT WORK OFFLINE. Of course, there might be workarounds for this, but those wouldn’t be necessary if it worked in the first place.
Another thing we wondered was, how much does notion cost?
My best answer was of course, you can use the app for free if the limitations on the Personal account don’t bother you. However, to unlock the few features unique to the Personal Pro version of the month, you’ll need to pay $4/month. This is effectively what you’re paying for if you upgrade to the Pro version of Notion.
Does notion have access to my notes?
Due to the lack of end-to-end encryption, Notion has access to your notes. They see everything. In good faith, we trust that the employees at Notion who have access to our data won’t abuse it, but why take the risk? If Notion insists on storing our notes on their servers (which they do), they should at least encrypt it.
Because Notion does not enable end-to-end encryption, employees of the platform can basically see and access the data of its users. Notion, however, points out that they can only access users’ data when it is consented and are int.
