 <p><strong>Q: How does credential protection work with exclusion settings?</strong></p>
 <ul>
-<li><strong>Supported exclusion patterns:</strong> Personalized private codebases appended with model for inference</li>
-<li><strong>Credential confidentiality measures:</strong> Indexing of private codebases for relevant snippet retrieval</li>
+<li><strong>Windsurfignore:</strong> By default, Windsurf Indexing will ignore: Paths specified in gitignore, Files in node_modules, and Hidden pathnames (starting with ”.”) </li>
+<li><strong>Credential confidentiality measures:</strong> Windsurf Indexing does send snippets of code to a remote server to generate embeddings. However, no code or embeddings are stored remotely — all your data is stored on your own device.</li>
 </ul>
