Can my private data leak to the distributed cache?
Hopefully not. As mentioned above, Ceno Browser tries hard to remove any private data (passwords, cookies…) from any request for injection. In addition, the injector does not itself do any seeding; in fact, its sole purpose is to sign content so that Ouinet clients can seed it. This means that when the content comes back to the client, it is further analyzed, and if the origin server indicated that it is of a private nature, Ceno will not seed it either.
Still, there could be cases of badly designed or malicious pages which may collect some information from you (like an email address in a form or some browser fingerprints using JavaScript) and stuff it in another link URL as normal path components (e.g. `http://example.com/subscribe/you@example.org`). If you suspect that a page may be doing that, better be on the safe side and use Personal browsing for it.
Can the origin server know whether I am using Ceno?
Most probably not. Whenever Ceno contacts an origin server directly, it behaves as normal Firefox for Android does, so your particular device appears as a normal Firefox app of the same version.
However, when it uses an injector to get some content from its origin server, there are (at least) two ways for the latter to know that Ceno or Ouinet is involved:
The source address of the connection reaching the origin server is found in the injector swarm (since the connection comes indeed from the injector);
The presence or absence of certain information in the request for content is characteristic of Ouinet. This happens when the injector is requesting the content because your client asked it to retrieve and sign that content, as the injector removes information unique to your particular device from the request.
Please note that these only mark the request as coming from Ouinet, but they do not link it to you or your particular device. However, if the request did for some of the reasons mentioned in the previous question still contain some personally identifiable information, it could be used to mark you as a Ceno user.
In general, if a particular website (such as a governmental site) expects you to connect to it as an identifiable individual, from a specific region (or from a [national intranet][National intranet]), we recommend that you use a normal Web browser instead of Ceno.
