On the other hand, I'd preferentially have the cloud backend have exactly zero of that information. I'd be worried about privacy getting deprioritized in favor of the above.

Easy enough to encrypt with your password so the backend has the info but can't 'see' it.

Google already does this optionally for Chrome synced data.
