HI
Does datatables have any access to my data? Or is all styling and processing done on device?

    The Data doc page discusses the data sources supported by Datatables. You can see running examples here.

    I understand the different ways to pass data into datatables, but does the data ever leave my device?

    Datatables builds a data cache of all the row data at the client. This is used for sorting, searching, etc. Datatables uses the DOM to display the current page's data. Datatable APIs can be used to access the data residing in the client from the data cache. If using Server Side Processing the only data at the client is the page being displayed.

    Does this help answer your questions?
