Data processing and privacy
Images are processed exclusively on the user's device. The sole exception concerns typefaces: when the font picker is opened, previews are loaded from Google Fonts, and when a Google Fonts family is selected, that family is downloaded from Google. Only the font name is transmitted, never the image. The Google Fonts connection can be turned off in the settings, in which case the bundled fonts and those installed on the computer are used.
