[Qgis-user] Queries re Data Security

[Umi Nutriandini (ID)]

Hi Alessandro,

Thank you for your response.

In addition to the information provided, I would like to confirm whether
the QGIS software can be fully utilised without an internet connection.
Specifically, our team needs to understand if all functionalities of QGIS
remain available when offline. *Could you please confirm if QGIS can be
used without an internet connection and all data will be stored/processed
fully in local drive and not your cloud environment?* We are using the
offline version 3.40 for Windows.

Thank you.

Kind regards,
Umi
