| Retention | 24 hours by defaultShow detailsHide detailsConversation threads are automatically deleted after one day by default; a thread can also be deleted immediately by hand. A thread a user reports (for example, to flag a bug) is retained for 30 days before deletion for debugging purposes. Requests to the model backend are not saved or tied to a customer account by default, though Kagi notes they may be retained briefly as part of request debugging. On the model-provider side, retention varies by provider and is documented separately — see the Privacy Architecture section. | Session-only by defaultShow detailsHide detailsPersists only if Memory feature is enabled, in a per-user encrypted vault |
