Hi oschif

The local copy on your devices will stay there unless you manually deleted them, or deliberately signed out of your 1Password account.

It's the same as being offline for any other reason. It's extremely unlikely that 1Password will ever be taken offline by an attack (and we have $1 million USD that says you can't!). But if something happened temporarily because of something outside of our control, everything would remain on your devices just as it is now, although new changes wouldn't sync anywhere. You'd still be able to export your data from 1Password on your computer if you wanted, but it's not going anywhere without your say-so.

Hope that helps clarify things! :)
