No.

Since your data is fully encrypted and/or hashed before ever leaving **your** local device, no one from the Bitwarden team can ever see, read, or reverse engineer to get to your real data. Bitwarden servers only store encrypted and hashed data. This is an important step that Bitwarden takes to protect you.

You can read more about how your data is encrypted and transmitted [here]({% link _articles/security/what-encryption-is-used.md %}).
