How do you deal with Privacy?

There are now a plethora of apps that allow you to build a digital knowledge garden, journal, log etc.

The challenge I face is that my data is not all benign. It includes people (personal information), facts about people (sensitive information) as well as organisational personal/sensitive information. Plus in terms of a journal I’m not going to write what I really think if I know it’s not 100% private.

This is my sticking point with icloud, dropbox, workflowy, obsidian, etc.

If I have to separate out the information and keep some in one place and some in another, it makes nonsense out of a knowledge base as not all the knowledge is there. Plus I do need to add/edit the knowledge base on mobile/desktop.

Is there a solution, or am I the only one with this quandary? At the moment I use a password protected tiddlywiki as the file is then encrypted.
