Hannibal is designed to help you work smarter without compromising privacy or security.

All AI features in Cynoia respect your workspace rules, permissions, and data boundaries.

You always stay in control of what gets generated, shared, or saved.

How Hannibal Uses Your Data

Hannibal only works with content you explicitly interact with.

This includes:

  • Text you select or write

  • The task, note, or chat you are currently viewing

  • Project data you already have access to

Hannibal does not:

  • Automatically scan your entire workspace

  • Modify content without confirmation

  • Access private data outside your permissions

No Automatic Changes

All AI-generated content is:

  • Shown as a preview

  • Inserted only after your approval

  • Fully editable before saving

Nothing is posted, updated, or shared automatically.

Permissions Always Apply

Hannibal respects Cynoia’s permission system.

This means:

  • If you cannot view a project, Hannibal cannot summarize it

  • If you don’t have access to a note, Hannibal won’t reference it

  • Resource-level permissions override global roles

Hannibal never bypasses access rules.

Data Isolation & Workspace Boundaries

Each workspace is isolated.

Hannibal:

  • Only works within your current workspace

  • Cannot access other organizations

  • Cannot mix data between workspaces

This ensures confidentiality between teams and companies.

AI Suggestions vs User Actions

Important distinction:

  • Hannibal suggests

  • Users decide

You can:

  • Reject it entirely

  • Ask for refinements

AI assistance is always optional.

Security Best Practices

We recommend:

  • Reviewing AI-generated content before sharing

  • Avoiding sensitive information in public notes

  • Using proper roles and permissions

  • Keeping 2FA enabled on your account

Transparency & Control

Cynoia is committed to:

  • Clear AI usage

  • User control over content

  • Respecting privacy and security standards

AI features evolve, but core privacy principles remain unchanged.
