Umami does not store your IP address, and nothing it keeps names you. Your notes stay on your device.
Bug reports are only sent when you choose to (report a bug, in the gear menu). A report contains what you write, the reply email if you add one, and your browser type. It is emailed to us through Cloudflare and used only to look into the problem. Nothing is sent automatically.
