I have had agenda on my watchlist for a long time. Played with and used just about every other note and task management software out there. For some reason, Agenda has never clicked with me because I’m not really calendar focused but recently have revisited and I think I may have misunderstood its focus on dates. In either case, I really don’t like storing my notes in any way that they’re visible to anybody else. Not because they have anything all that private, but it’s just something that bugs me which pretty much rules out using things like Capacities or Twos and many others.
Here is my question if I have advanced data protection enabled, why in Agenda do I need enable e2e. I would think once advanced data protection is enabled, anything in iCloud is secured?
Yes, I know how to enable this, but that’s not really my question. If I just select iCloud, where is the data stored that advanced data protection is not protecting it?
Also in your personal iCloud container, but in a way it’s not encrypted and could therefore be theoretically accessed by Apple. Irrespective of whether of which iCloud option you choose, we never have access to it. If you use e2e, Apple can’t access it either.
This is mainly a legacy problem: Apple didn’t have e2e when we launched Agenda. So most people’s data is stored in the original iCloud space. As pointed out by @mekentosj, Apple Store the keys for the encryption in that case, so a rogue Apple employee could in theory access your data.
Apple introduced the ADP a few years ago. It doesn’t replace the old iCloud storage, but adds a new part that is fully e2e encrypted.
If we were starting today, we would put all the data in the e2e bit, but we have a lot of customers using the older system, so we set it up as a new option, rather than requiring everyone to reupload everything to the new part.
Ah, okay. Understood. That was basically my question. If you just stored it in the iCloud Drive, you would not have this problem, but that is not where you store your data. Got it.
