What OpenClaw 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.

Every link read off the product’s own published pages. Across the 56 policies in this directory, 3 name all four, and 3 name none of them.

What it does not answer

Each of these is a question some policies in this directory answer. The count is how many of the 56 we have read close it.

• whether it trains on your conversations43 of 56 answer it
• the people in your threads who never signed up7 of 56 answer it
• where to report a hole14 of 56 answer it

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

OpenClaw last revised it on 2026-08-02, which was 39 days before we read it. 52 of the 56 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 started keeping a dated copy of this document on 2026-09-10. A policy that is quietly rewritten leaves nothing behind, so from here any change to it is recorded with the date it appeared.
