Hello @pathfinder76! 👋
That's a good question! We take data security very seriously and we deliberately limit the information that we can access here on our end. All of your actual 1Password data is end-to-end encrypted using a private key derived from your account password and Secret Key so all that we see on our end are encrypted blobs of gibberish.
You can read more about what we know and don't know about users here: What we (don’t) know about you | 1Password
Even if someone inside of 1Password wanted to access your passwords they wouldn't be able to do so. Everything is encrypted on your devices before ever leaving your devices which ensures that only you are able to access and view your items.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Without knowing the Secret Key and password your data is not useable to anyone. They are each 1/2 of the combination to your data.
