Pierre’s assumption is correct (see Paul’s answer below for more details).

You are correct, Paul. And you have shed a lot of light on my understanding of how OD works. Since Ecco was pulled from my machine when we migrated to Win7 a number of years ago since it was not standard software, I try not to discuss software too much with IT people. So, my “personal” tools at work are usually limited to web-based apps, portable apps or something running on my own personal hardware. The information that I keep in these task management/note programs is not sensitive so I do not worry about any type of data breach, but IT folks are concerned about protecting the network, and rightly so.
