| Retention | Erased at guest-session end by defaultShow detailsHide detailsTwo 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. | No storage by default (Private mode)Show detailsHide detailsAnonymous-tier requests go to outside frontier-model providers, and Venice's own guidance is to assume that provider stores the content under its own policy. Private-tier and TEE/E2EE-tier requests are not stored — enforced by contract on Private, and by hardware enclave plus client-side encryption on TEE/E2EE. One disclosed exception: prompts may sit in server memory in plaintext for the duration of a single request (never written to disk) on the Anonymous and Private tiers, and generated videos are held on Venice's servers temporarily until downloaded, then deleted shortly after — the one standing exception to the no-storage policy, due to file size. |
