Preferences and saved conversations

Your selected theme is saved in this browser. Your current research conversation and unfinished draft are also saved locally for up to 30 days after use, so refreshing or returning to the site can resume the discussion. Anyone using the same browser profile may be able to read that saved conversation. New conversation clears the saved chat and starts a new session. If browser storage is unavailable, the chat remains available only while the page is open.

Research questions and AI processing

When you request an AI answer, your question, selected approved research passages and recent conversation context are sent to OpenAI through the API. Requests use store:false rather than creating a provider-stored conversation. This setting is not a promise of zero provider or platform retention; their applicable policies still govern processing. Please avoid entering confidential information.

The application does not keep raw questions or answers in a server database. Recent public conversation context is signed by the server and saved with your chat in this browser; it is sent back with later questions so the server can safely resume the discussion after a restart or refresh. The server may cache up to six recent turns in temporary memory. Idle caches are cleared when later requests are handled. Conversation context cannot grant access to private sources or another visitor’s conversation.

Usage limits and accounting use hashed identifiers, request times, token counts and cost reservations. Failure diagnostics record request identifiers and error categories, without question text, answers or source passages. These operational records have different retention needs from the visible chat and are not erased by starting a new conversation. There is no public transcript URL, contact form or visitor upload.

Hosting and external sources

ChatGPT Sites provides hosting and access controls. The platform may process operational and traffic data under its policies. This implementation adds no advertising analytics. Original-source links open external sites governed by their own policies. No Canadian-only processing or compliance certification is claimed.
