Can you tell me a little about the security of information in files created in LibreOffice and the possibility of setting the storage location to a USB drive or SD card.
I would like to know more about the security of personal information in LibreOffice documents. I liked Apache OO, but I understand that they lost their talent to you guys. So I want to know if my PPI will be safe in files that I make with LibreOffice, or should I only store those files in a separate storage device apart from my laptop such as an SD card? Can I do that, or am I forced to use that stupid "cloud"?
Also, please accept my apology to the AskLibO Administrator for my rude comments last night. I found your confirmation link emails in my junk email today. May I suggest that a reminder to look there for it be given whenever a person creates a user account?
Are files created in the LibreOffice suite encrypted -- or can they be? I found a question similar to this on this site last night, but it said that the question had been closed because some guy had accepted a correct answer to it already. That left me totally in the dark still. HIS receiving an answer does ME absolutely no good, if you don't tell me the answer you told him.
I think I'd like to use LibreOffice, but I need to know the answer to these questions before installing it.
Heh. You seeing a question without an answer closed as answered does ME absolutely no good (to fix it, e.g. by adding comments/links there), if you don't tell me the address of that question. ;-D

Here is the message. Closed for the following reason the question is answered, right answer was accepted by Alex Kemp close date 2016-03-06 01:37:15.821802
But that question has the accepted answer by @Jean-Baptiste FAURE, that is marked by a green checkmark, and highlighted with yellow background. What is unclear there? That answer was given to the OP, and was enough for them to be accepted.
It also has a number of other answers there. How "you don't tell me the answer you told him" can be applicable to that???
(Spoken aside:
@Alex Kemp was highly active here for a rather short time, and his main concern in that time [as I see it] was to accept answers to questions and to then close the questions he not was the OQer of. Imo, there were many doubtable cases, and in a few of them I even re-opened the thread. About 2000 of my "karma" points I got by his mentioned activities.)
In this specific case the accepted answer was from 2012-11-05, and facts may have changed since.
(Not every chamge necessarily was an improvement, probably.)
@Mike Kaganski: Yes, I see that, now. My screen shows no yellow highlighting. It may be because I'm using Windows dark theme. I don't know. I wish we could get the old themes back.
Too, I had to hover the mouse pointer over the green checkmark before it would tell me that that was the correct answer. I saw no other indication on my screen.
I agree with Lupp that the answer given there is pretty old and, I think, may not be accurate for today (7+ yrs. later). It would be nice if there was a more recent answer. Thanks, guys.
