Zotero is an open source project committed to providing the best research tool available anywhere. Our philosophy is that what you put into Zotero remains your stuff, and one of our founding principles is to make it as easy as possible to take your stuff where you want it, to share it how you like, or to choose not to share it at all.
We are a nonprofit organization and have no financial interest in your private information. However, to provide optimal service, it is helpful for us to collect some data from time to time. In addition, some of Zotero’s advanced features require you to supply us with information; for example, Zotero backup and synchronization requires you to transmit your Zotero library data with our server. You should note that participation in these services is up to you and can be adjusted at any time in Zotero Preferences.
