What does "Store it forever" mean?

Would it automatically send me a formatted archive of my entries (say every week or month)?

Send me a file that is automatically uploaded to Google Drive or DropBox or even just email it to me regularly.



I'd be much happier if it only kept records locally, or had the option. As creepy as... every social network has gotten, I want my privacy and anonymity back. As interesting, and potentially useful as this seems, I don't feel comfortable giving every detail of my life to a private third party to store "forever." I don't make committing crimes a habit or anything (copyright infringement not withstanding), but with the US government's position that anything you choose to store with a third party being accessible without a warrant, I'd prefer to store things locally.
