privacy

Basic
  • The service can read messages, earlier messages and files included in a request.
  • History stays on your device by default. Optional sync stores an encrypted copy that the service cannot decrypt.
  • Brave says requests are deleted after processing and ordinary chats are not used for training. Large requests can be kept for a few minutes.
  • Submitting feedback shares the full conversation with Brave, which keeps it for one year.
  • Premium confirms payment without attaching your payment details to each chat request.

Privacy context

This protection level covers the built-in hosted service, not a custom local-model setup. Requests can also include selected web-page content. Sync protects saved history, but earlier messages become readable when included in a request.

what the levels mean

Basic

Limits data collection

Reduces how much personal information is collected, stored or shared. Some information remains accessible to the companies behind the service.

Enhanced

Keeps more information private

Adds technical protections that limit what companies and other parties can access, not just how they promise to use it.

Maximum

Protects your data and identity

Combines strong data protection with measures that make your activity harder to trace back to you.

Protection levels can depend on settings or plans. Read the project's privacy context to get the right level of protection.
