What happens to my chats?

What we store and how long we keep it

Updated
On this page

Overchat AI saves your chats to your account and encrypts them with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256). To answer you, Overchat AI sends each message to the company that runs the model you picked. You can delete any chat, or start a Temporary Chat that doesn’t appear in your history.

Where does Overchat AI store my chats?

Overchat AI stores your data in the European Economic Area. It keeps your data only as long as the service or the law requires. Details on encryption are in Is Overchat AI safe?

When you log in with the same account, your chat history and generated media sync between the web app and the iOS app.

Who receives my messages?

The company that runs your model receives your message and sends the reply, for example OpenAI for GPT models. Overchat AI uses and stores your content only to run the service.

How do I delete a chat?

Delete a chat from the sidebar:

  1. Click the three-dot button next to the chat.
  2. Click Delete.
  3. Click Delete again to confirm.

Overchat AI then deletes the chat history.

How do I chat without saving history?

Use a Temporary Chat. It doesn’t appear in your history, and Overchat AI deletes it when you leave. To start one:

  1. Log in.
  2. Open a chat with a chat model.
  3. Click the shield icon (Start new Temporary Chat) at the top of the chat.
  4. When you leave, click End private chat.

What does Memory remember?

With Memory on, Overchat AI remembers facts about you across chats and models. Open Manage account → Account → Memory to control it:

  • Remember facts across chats: turns Memory on or off
  • Manage: lists saved facts; click a fact to remove it
  • Clear all memories: in Manage, removes every saved fact

How do I delete all my data?

Delete your account. Overchat AI permanently removes your account, history, projects and settings. The steps are in How do I delete my account?
