Account & data deletion

Anonymous, local use of markbird needs no account — no data is sent to us in that mode. If you have signed in, you can delete your account and all associated cloud data at any time from inside the app: open the account menu → “Account & data” → Delete. This removes your account, your synced documents, and any server-side share-link copies.

Known limitations

• Real-time collaboration is best-effort and depends on a stable connection.
• Sync is last-write-wins across devices.
• Share links store a copy of the document on the server until they expire or are revoked.

FAQ

Where are my documents stored?
By default, solely in your browser (IndexedDB and localStorage). Without signing in or sharing, nothing leaves your device.

What happens when I sign in?
Your documents are additionally stored in Google Cloud Firestore (EU) so they sync across your devices. Signing in is optional.

What happens when I share a link?
A copy of that document is placed on our servers (EU) so recipients can open it. You can set an expiry date and revoke links at any time.
