Why Privacy Matters in AI Conversations

The Privacy Problem in AI

Most AI chatbots today operate on a simple but concerning model: your conversations flow through their servers, where they can be stored, analyzed, and potentially used for training future models. While companies promise privacy, the reality is that your most sensitive conversations—from personal problems to business strategies—may be sitting in someone else's database.

What Makes Chat Different

Chat takes a fundamentally different approach: the "Bring Your Own API Key" model. Instead of routing your conversations through our servers, Chat connects directly to Groq's API using your personal API key. This means:

No intermediary: Your conversations go directly from your browser to Groq
Local storage only: Chat history stays on your device
Your API, your control: You control the billing and usage
No data collection: We literally cannot see your conversations

Real-World Privacy Scenarios

Consider these scenarios where privacy in AI conversations is crucial:

🏢 Business Strategy

Discussing confidential business plans, competitive analysis, or financial data requires absolute privacy.

⚕️ Healthcare Queries

Medical questions and health concerns are highly sensitive and protected by privacy regulations.

💡 Creative Work

Protecting intellectual property while brainstorming ideas or developing creative content.

👥 Personal Matters

Relationship advice, personal dilemmas, and emotional support conversations.

The Technical Implementation

Chat's privacy-first architecture is built on these technical principles:

🔐 Client-Side Encryption

Your API key is stored locally in your browser's secure storage, never transmitted to our servers.

🚀 Direct API Calls

JavaScript makes direct HTTPS calls to Groq's API, bypassing any intermediary servers.

💾 Local Data Storage

Chat history is stored in your browser's localStorage, which only you can access.
