What other AI services do with your private thoughts

When you type something into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, you're not just having a conversation. You're feeding data into a system that's actively looking for ways to extract value from what you share. Your therapy session notes. Your relationship anxieties. Your business ideas. Your political thoughts. All of it potentially used to make the next version of the model smarter - which gets sold commercially.

"I shouldn't have to wonder if my private thoughts are being read by AI trainers at OpenAI, analyzed by Microsoft's ad targeting systems, or subject to US government data requests I'll never know about."

This isn't paranoia. OpenAI's terms explicitly state that conversations can be used for training unless you opt out - through settings buried deep in your account. Google's Gemini has similar provisions. These are US-hosted services under US law, meaning they can be compelled to hand over data through FISA orders and National Security Letters that they're legally forbidden from disclosing to you.

ComfyAI is different in structure, not just in policy. It's hosted in Austria under EU law, has no commercial training pipeline, has no advertiser relationships, and no investors demanding that your data be monetized. Privacy here isn't a marketing claim - it's a structural reality.

What we're honest about

Privacy claims require specificity. Here's exactly what we do and don't do, with no vague language designed to imply more than we deliver.

What we do

  • + Store conversations for your memory features (30-90 days)
  • + Use memory to make the AI feel like it knows you
  • + Let you delete your data anytime
  • + Comply with GDPR data subject requests
  • + Occasionally review flagged content for safety

What we never do

  • - Use your conversations to train AI models
  • - Sell your data to advertisers or brokers
  • - Share your conversations with third parties
  • - Analyze your chat for commercial insights
  • - Retain data beyond your stated retention period

We do store conversations for memory features - that's the honest truth. "Private by design whatsoever" would be a lie. What we can genuinely promise: your data is stored for your benefit, not ours, and is never used against your interests.

Privacy by design

Hosted in Austria - EU Jurisdiction

Austrian servers mean GDPR protection, not US surveillance law. Your data cannot be accessed via FISA orders or NSL requests. European courts, European standards, European rights.

No Training on Your Data

ComfyAI has no AI training pipeline. Your conversations will never become training data for future AI models - not ours, not sold to others. If that ever changes, it would be explicit opt-in.

Zero Advertiser Relationships

No advertising partners. No behavioral profiling. No "personalized ad" system running in the background. You are not a product to be sold. Your data has no commercial value to us.

No Account Required

Start chatting without an email address, phone number, or identity verification. Minimum data collection = minimum data exposure. Create a free account only if you want cross-device memory.

Delete Anytime

Full control over your data. Delete individual conversations, your entire history, or your account at any time. GDPR gives you the right to erasure - we make it easy to exercise it.

Independently Run, No Investors

No VC investors demanding data monetization. No Microsoft, Google, or Amazon with commercial interests in your conversations. Being independently run means the only stakeholders are users.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does ComfyAI use my conversations to train AI?
No. ComfyAI has no AI training pipeline. Conversations are stored to power your memory features only. They are never used to train AI models, never sold to research institutions, and never shared with third parties. If a training program were ever added, participation would require explicit opt-in consent - never opt-out by default.
Does ComfyAI log my conversations?
Conversations are stored for your memory features (30-90 days) so the AI can remember you across sessions. We don't maintain extensive server-side logs for surveillance or analytics. Storage exists to benefit you, not us. You can delete your conversation history at any time.
Why does hosting location matter for privacy?
US-hosted AI services are subject to US surveillance laws including FISA Section 702 and National Security Letters. These allow US intelligence agencies to compel data disclosure without public court orders or user notification. EU-hosted services under GDPR cannot be accessed this way. Austria's hosting means stronger legal protections for your data.
Is ComfyAI GDPR compliant?
Yes. ComfyAI complies with GDPR. You have the right to access what data is stored about you, request its deletion, and know how it's used. We publish a clear privacy policy and honor data subject requests. No dark patterns, no buried opt-outs.
Can I use ComfyAI without giving any personal information?
Yes. No account required to start. No email, no phone, no name. Just open the page and chat. Creating a free account for cross-device memory is optional and requires only an email address.
Does ComfyAI sell my data to advertisers?
No. Zero advertiser relationships. No data brokering. No behavioral profiling for commercial purposes. ComfyAI has no advertising revenue model and no investors demanding it build one.
What happens to my data if I delete my account?
Your conversation history and stored memories are deleted. Deletion is permanent. We don't keep "soft deleted" records of your conversations for model training or analytics after deletion is requested.
