# Are my cloud account details safe when Storage Studio runs transfers?

Your account details stay private on your Mac and are used only to talk to the service you connected. Storage Studio doesn't send them to us or anywhere else, and Tuhi can't read or share them.

For services you sign in to through your browser, Storage Studio receives a permission from the service rather than your password. You can withdraw that permission at any time from the service's own security settings, or by removing the account in Storage Studio.

We don't publish the details of how account details are protected on your Mac, but what it means for you is simple: they stay on this Mac and are only ever used for the account they belong to.
