The Kagi Assistant Privacy section (https://help.kagi.com/kagi/ai/assistant.html#privacy) says:

  • "your data is never used to train AI models (not by us or by the LLM providers), and no account information is shared with the LLM providers."
  • "By default, threads expire after 24 hours of inactivity."

Can we have some clarification on usage of the data beyond the above details? Such as:

  • Is our Assistant data used for any other purpose?
  • When a thread "expires", is its data completely destroyed on Kagi's end? And is its data completely destroyed by the LLM providers?
  • Kagi's privacy policy states that searches are not logged nor associated with accounts, is there a setting for Kagi Assistant to not log or associate any data with the user's account?
  • Can Kagi's privacy policy (https://kagi.com/privacy) be updated to include the Assistant?

    We've just released documentation about our model providers, https://help.kagi.com/kagi/ai/llms-privacy.html, to clarify how each handles data.

    I know this doesn't address all your points, but as noted in #5780, we will be releasing a new privacy policy soon, which should address all your questions.

    I'll merge both threads to streamline communication once the latest privacy policy version goes live

    Merged 3 posts from Assistant Privacy Policy: Clarifications on usage and storage of data.

      Thanks! I think we need to probably look at Mullvad and AdGuard VPN to provide a solid but easy to follow policy as there are so many products from Kagi now!

      What is retained irrespective of interaction, what is retained when interacting are really nicely written for AdGuard VPN. Mullvad also does nice breakdown of exactly what things look like on their server plus retention times for things that are collected.

      Mullvad is audited but Kagi like AdGuard VPN is unaudited. AdGuard has reputation benefit but Kagi has to win those users right?

        Luis Hi, do you have a rough estimate of when the new version of the privacy policy will be released?

            I should have learned by now not to discuss deadlines... :/
            The new privacy policy is finalised and will be released soon. We're planning to publish it alongside a few major updates, including Privacy Pass, but the latter needs a few more days of polishing before its official release.

              Luis Oh no.. Privacy pass is delayed, again? 🙁
              It must be a trickier implementation than assumed. The paper made it look so easy. But to be fair, their own extension had 2 star ratings on Firefox and Chrome which shows how hard it might be to make it work right.

                No one is typing
