Where your data goes
- Your server stores your conversations, files, memory, and most settings. Device preferences stay on each device.
- Your model provider receives what the bot needs to work on each task, including messages and file contents.
- Connected services receive the requests bots make through plugins.
- Your web search, web fetch, and transcription providers receive search queries, the addresses of pages bots fetch, and voice recordings.
Self-hosting keeps your data on your server, but these services still see what's sent to them. To keep model requests local too, use your own model server.
