Thorg's View on Data
Your data is your data. You own your data.
We do NOT have access to your notes. All note data is stored locally, and you retain full ownership and control.
When we start collecting anonymized app usage data (not note data), we will provide a way to opt out.
Don't let your knowledge be stuck in proprietary format.
Transparent Data Model means you have full access to all the data Thorg creates and uses, without obfuscation.
This goes beyond simply exporting to common formats—which often omit critical details. Instead, you have direct access to 100% of the raw data that Thorg creates, exactly as Thorg uses it.
We aim to store data in open, human-readable formats (example: non-encoded JSON), making it easy to inspect, parse, and manage.
When custom formats are needed for performance, we keep them in text format and document them thoroughly so you can parse them easily if desired. Example: Visit history file Content Format.

Transparent Data Model does NOT mean your data is accessible to anyone but you. It means you can understand what the data is. See You Own Your Data.
