Where are project questions kept, and can they contain passwords?

Questions and answers are kept on the SyncNow server with the project, and everyone with access to the project, and their agents, can read them.

So never put passwords, keys, tokens or customer credentials in a question or an answer: give SyncNow a password only in Connections.

As a safety net, the server checks every text before saving it: a recognizable key or token, such as a private key, an API key or a web address with a password in it, is refused and nothing is saved, and a password already in the project's vault is replaced by a placeholder. This recognises patterns and known values only, so a secret it does not recognise gets through, and deleting a question erases its text only when it is removed for good, 30 days later or at once with Delete permanently, while the server's event log keeps its subject line: if one got through, treat it as exposed and change it where it is issued.

The project's history and Activity keep a question's id, subject, who asked and answered and its priority, never the text of a question or an answer. SyncNow itself does not pass questions or answers to an AI service: routing and the duplicate checks are word matching on its server, and only what someone saves as a plan or a rule goes through the usual AI check, with secrets removed. Of Conversations, your PC keeps only the time SyncNow last checked for answers to your questions. See Can I write my database password or API keys in a rule?.
