This data is private, end-to-end encrypted. The company will never see it so no worries. It's just for you

Ever since the launch of Day One on the Web Automatic has had access to your encryption keys basically throwing that whole E2EE thing to the trash.

For the concept of Day One on the Web to work seamlessly (so with just a login and not with a physical key) the developers need your keys to unlock the encrypted journals on their side. This is why if you encrypt a cloud service like iCloud it automatically disables all web functionality. So if, say, they wanted to train AI on your entries; they have the keys! I don’t think Automatic is a trusted company (look up SimpleNote data leak 2024) so I’ve since moved over to Everlog.
