   If you have stored your projects in the Citavi Cloud, Citavi recognizes which projects you have created yourself in the Cloud and which projects you have been invited to contribute to by logging in with your Citavi account.

Note: Citavi now as a cloud solution

The geographical location where the data is stored depends on the type of data:

• Personal data: Dublin (Ireland) data centers
• Content data of the projects: Data centers in Frankfurt and Magdeburg; T-Systems is the data trustee here.

No cloud requirement! Two options for storing the projects:

• As before, as a local file on your own hard disk or on the local network.
• New since Citavi 6: In the Citavi Cloud.

The user can freely choose the location per project.

Attention! The default saving location is the cloud!

New from November 2024:

In addition to the Citavi software, Citavi Web will also be available. This will also allow Mac users to use the reference management system. However, the data for this will be stored on the web.

Data protection information for Citavi:

The reference management program Citavi is provided by the US company Lumivero as a campus license and extended by Citavi Web. Due to the structure of the contractual terms of use, it cannot be ruled out that your personal metadata will be passed on to the USA when using the cloud. However, the storage of project data in the cloud environment is not mandatory. You can still store your data in the local network or on your own hard disk. For data protection reasons, we recommend that you only store sensitive data locally and not in the Citavi Cloud. Further information on data protection can be found in the Lumivero privacy policy and in the current Citavi manual.
