Note that there are no guarantees on the privacy of these tools, since most of them also have online functionality, and using any online features will affect the privacy of your data.

However, the following tools can be downloaded to your computer and used offline exclusively: SFU Library has been unable to identify any citation management products that store data exclusively on Canadian servers.

If you are concerned that your personal information is stored outside Canada, do not use these services. This act allows US authorities to access your personal information. One important point to note: most of the popular citation management products store your data on non-Canadian servers, which means your account information may be subject to US laws, specifically the US Patriot Act. Not sure which citation manager is right for you? We recommend Zotero, but you don't have to take our word for it - check out MIT Library compares EndNote, Zotero and Mendeley for more info.
