+## Notes
+
+**Important Considerations for Snyk:**
+1. Snyk acquired DeepCode (AI-powered code analysis) - understand how AI is used
+2. Check if Snyk Code (SAST) has different data handling than Snyk Open Source
+3. Verify if Snyk Broker (for on-premise scanning) addresses data sovereignty concerns
+4. Understand the difference between CLI, IDE, and CI/CD scanning for data handling
+5. Check if vulnerability database updates require data sharing
