The workspace template Joplin offers end-to-end encryption (E2EE), meaning:

• your notes are encrypted on your device

• only you control the password

• no one at Gage.Care can see or access you information

For best protection, we recommend:

• choosing a strong encryption password

• using device encryption (most phones and computers already do this)

• keeping your device locked when not in use

This system is designed to reduce risk, not add to it.

What if I forget my encryption password?

This is important to understand.

Because encryption is designed to protect you, there is no password recovery.
If the password is lost, the encrypted notes cannot be unlocked.

We strongly recommend:

• writing your password down and storing it somewhere safe

• using a trusted password manager

• choosing something strong but memorable

This trade-off is what ensures no one else can access your notes — including us.

• 
  for data in transit and at rest on sync targets, but it does not encrypt data locally at rest on your device by default.

• End-to-End Encryption (E2EE): When enabled, Joplin encrypts your notes, notebooks, tags, and resources before syncing them to a cloud service (like Nextcloud, Dropbox, or Joplin Cloud). This ensures that only you — with your master password — can decrypt and access the data. The encryption uses AES-256 and is implemented via the Stanford JavaScript Crypto Library.

• Local Data: Your notes are stored in an unencrypted SQLite database on your local device (e.g., C:\Users\[User Name]\.config\joplin-desktop on Windows). Anyone with access to your device can open and read this file using an SQLite browser, even if E2EE is enabled.

• Security Implications: While E2EE protects your data during sync and while stored on remote servers, local data remains unencrypted. This means:

  • If someone gains access to your computer (e.g., via shared device or malware), they can read your notes.

  • The master password is stored in plain text locally, so if your device is compromised, your encryption key may be exposed.

• Workarounds for Local Encryption:

  • Use Windows File Encryption (EFS) to protect the Joplin data folder.

  • Run Joplin as a portable app inside an encrypted container (e.g., using VeraCrypt).

  • Store the entire Joplin directory on an encrypted USB drive.

✅ Bottom line: Joplin is secure during sync via E2EE, but not encrypted at rest locally.

For full protection, you must implement additional local encryption methods.

For highly sensitive medical/legal content, please use an encrypted document shared only with trusted individuals.

Yes. Absolutely.

Your notes:

• can be exported at any time

• are stored in open formats

• are not locked into Gage.care

• are not dependent on a single company or service

You can:

• back them up

• migrate them

• keep them long-term

• move them to another tool if needed

This workspace is designed for portability and longevity.

Do I need to fill everything out?

No.

You are encouraged to:

• start small

• fill in only what’s helpful

• skip anything that doesn’t apply

• return later when life changes

Even a partially filled workspace can make care conversations easier.

We offer flexible pricing based on project type and complexity. After an initial conversation, we’ll provide a transparent quote with no hidden costs.

No.

This Gage.Care:

• does not diagnose

• does not treat

• does not replace healthcare providers

• does not replace official medical records

It supports continuity, coordination, and communication — especially during transitions.
