# Can Tuhi read the contents of my documents?

No. Tuhi works from storage information — sizes, free space, what's been moved or backed up, background job results, and where a named file or folder is when you ask. It doesn't open your documents, photos or messages to read what's inside them.

All of that information stays on your Mac. See [Tuhi and privacy](https://storagestudio.us/faq/tuhi-assistant/does-tuhi-send-my-questions-to-the-internet).
