ZOTERO AND PRIVACY
Since 2006, the Zotero team has been committed to creating the best research software, and we believe that includes putting you in full control of your own work. We’re an independent, nonprofit organization, and we’ll never sell your data.
Data safety
Safety starts with understanding how developers
collect and share your data. Data privacy and security practices may vary based
on your use, region, and age. The developer provided this information and may
update it over time.
