Conversation 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.

Two distinct behaviours. In guest mode the conversation is erased when the session ends and nothing is persisted at all. With an account, chat history is saved only if you choose to keep it, and it is stored under zero-access encryption — Conversation Keys wrapped by a Master Key wrapped by your own PGP keypair, which is unlocked by your password. The operator states it stores no metadata such as timestamps, IP addresses, or chat context alongside either.
