Vector Messenger's Notes work similarly to what you may have experienced with other messenger apps under a label like "My Cloud" or "My Notes", where your notes to self are uploaded to the cloud and you can access across any device as long as you're logged in. Notes are encrypted messages that you send to yourself and can always go back and access.  If you lose access to your Private Key(s), mentioned on [Account & Profile](/vector-privacy/vector-messenger/features/account.md), you will permanently lose access to your encrypted Notes.&#x20;
