I was connected to the uni’s wifi, which I access with my institutional account, on my personal laptop. If using the app Notion - accessed with my personal gmail account - and writing on it, what can they see? do they have access to what I’m writing? Do they just see I’m using it?

    I guess it’s fine as long as you’re connecting with HTTPS. All they can see is the fact that you’re accessing notion’s server, unless they do something like deep packet inspection. Also, I’d recommend using DoH.

      But how to know that? Does it depend on the app (I was on the app installed on my laptop) or what? Is there a way to check now?

        Notion implements HTTPS connection, so you don’t need to care about that. If you really want to monitor what’s going in/out your computer, you can use something like Wireshark

            I think what notion desktop app actually does is simply display notion.so , and accessing the website from your browser is basically the same.

            Plus, I’d strongly recommend you to ask the IT guy instead, as he knows far better than me about this
