Whose hands it passes through

What it does not answer
Each of these is a question some policies in this directory answer. The count is how many of the 79 we have read close it.
- whether it trains on your conversations
- the people in your threads who never signed up
- what happens to your data when you cancel
- which model providers your conversations are sent to
- where to report a hole
Silence is not a denial and it is not a promise. A document that does not address the people in your group thread has not agreed to anything about them.
How old this document is
Howie last revised it on 2025-09-18, which was 357 days before we read it. 71 of the 79 policies here carry a revision date at all; the rest do not say when they were last changed, so there is no way to tell whether they describe the product as it ships today.
We have read it 2 times and it has changed once since we started watching, most recently on 2026-09-17. What changed, sentence by sentence.
