What Iris does with your messages

Whose hands it passes through
Somebody carries the message, somebody runs the model that reads it, and where the agent uses a website on your behalf somebody operates that browser. A blank below is not an absence of a company, it is a company nobody has named.

In its own words
“AI technology providers — to deliver conversational AI features; these providers are prohibited from retaining your data or using it to train their models”
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.
- 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
