Disclosure: I work for AgileBits, makers of 1Password

We outline the entirety of how this works in our white paper:

https://1pw.ca/whitepaper

We cannot tell what your data is. It's encrypted on your device using keys that only you know. Then we store it on our side on the server.

The unique solution of using your Master Password and your Secret Key, makes brute forcing the data on our server an incredibly expensive job for anyone attempting to do so. It makes our servers an absolutely terrible target.

I definitely recommend reading the white paper, it's quite easy to read, even if you aren't super interested in cryptography. If you have questions though just let me know. I'll make sure you get answers.
