Hi Team, I am using free version of postman to test my API using mTLS. I have uploaded my client certificate to postman.

From privacy prospective I want to understand if the certificates are stored ONLY on my local system or are these uploaded to postman server.

Thank you for your response.

Hey @samritdalpat 👋

The certificates are only stored locally and not uploaded or synced to the Postman Cloud.

We’re making a change to the Postman Docs to explicitly mentioned this too 🙏
