I suspect that when a Player syncs to the server, he is only given the snippets which are revealed by the GM. (Otherwise unscrupulous players could just hack the local database to see everything.)

If the GM reveals some snippets, then the Player version would have to sync to the main server in order to download the newly revealed snippets. (Whilst snippets no longer revealed would have their information deleted from the Player's local database).
