If your notes app knows more about your business than your compliance team does, that’s a problem.
Tools like CryptPad and LibreOffice reduce tracking by design, but privacy still depends on how you store, share, and deploy them.
Privacy first productivity is still productivity.

But as a Google Labs experiment, it lacks enterprise guarantees — and Google notes limited human review may occur. For B2B teams, that makes governance and data boundaries critical from day one.
