What BoltAI sends, and where

Your messages go to the AI provider you pick. This page covers where the rest of your data goes.

Your messages and files

Your messages, and the files and images you attach, go to the AI provider of the model you pick for the chat, such as OpenAI or Anthropic. That provider's own privacy terms apply.

In BoltAI for Mac, with Local Models, the model runs on your Mac, so those messages aren't sent to any AI provider.

Web pages and apps

In BoltAI for Mac, with Browser Use or Computer Use on, what BoltAI reads on a page or in an app is sent to your AI provider, so it can act on it. BoltAI asks before it opens a site or uses an app. See Browser Use and Computer Use.

Chat titles

Chat titles are written by an AI model too. In BoltAI for Mac, to stop that, open Settings › General and set Mode under Title Generation to Prompt, which uses your first message as the title, or Off.

Your chats and API keys

In BoltAI for Mac, they stay on your Mac. With Cloud Sync on, they also sync through BoltAI Cloud. In BoltAI Mobile, chats are stored in BoltAI Cloud unless you set Settings › Account › Chat Storage to This iPhone, and your AI providers, API keys and settings are always stored in BoltAI Cloud. With a master password, your API keys are encrypted on your device before they sync. See Sync your chats with Cloud Sync and Protect your API keys with a master password.

Crash reports and analytics

In BoltAI for Mac, Settings › Privacy:

• Send Crash Reports is on by default. Reports are anonymous and don't include your conversations. Restart BoltAI after you change it.
• Share Usage Analytics is off by default. Your prompts, files, API keys and conversations are never shared.
