# Privacy and Security

> Learn how OverControl protects private conversations, documents, web access, sharing, exports, and account data.

Your conversations should help you work, not become stored history.

OverControl is designed for sensitive AI work with zero-retention conversation processing, no private-data training, temporary document handling, controlled web access, and user-managed sharing.

  This page explains OverControl privacy and security in practical terms. For the legal version, read the [Privacy Policy](https://overcontrolgroup.com/legal/privacy-policy).

## Privacy by design

OverControl is built around a simple principle: your private AI work should be processed only for the task you request.

## What OverControl does not do

OverControl is designed to avoid the risks created by stored AI histories, reusable private data, and uncontrolled context.

| OverControl does not                            | What that means                                                                                    |
| ----------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Store chatbot conversations**                 | Your chat content is not kept as history in OverControl.                                           |
| **Maintain chat logs**                          | Conversations are not archived for later review or retrieval.                                      |
| **Train models on your conversations**          | Your prompts, responses, and uploaded content are not used for model training.                     |
| **Profile your private work**                   | Conversation content is not used to build user profiles.                                           |
| **Expose full workspace context to web search** | Web search is designed to retrieve external information without sending your full session context. |
| **Recover removed conversations**               | Once a session is removed, OverControl cannot restore it for you.                                  |

<Warning>
  “No conversation logs” refers to chatbot conversation content. Limited account, technical, cookie, or analytics may still be processed to operate, secure, and maintain the service.

## Conversation privacy

Your chat content is processed to generate a response inside the active session.

OverControl is designed so conversation content is:

* not stored as persistent chat history;
* not maintained as internal chat logs;
* not used for model training;
* not available for later review;
* not recoverable after removal.

This gives you a private AI workspace without creating a permanent record of every prompt, draft, or response.

<Tip>
  If you need to keep important work, use export or create a controlled share link before the session is removed.
</Tip>

***

## Document privacy

Uploaded documents are processed during the active session so OverControl can answer questions, summarize content, or extract information.

OverControl is designed so uploaded document content is:

* processed only for the task you request;
* not stored as a permanent file library;
* not used to train models;
* removed after the active session ends.

This makes document analysis useful for sensitive work without turning uploaded files into long-term platform storage.

***

## Web access without unnecessary exposure

Web search is useful when you need current information, external sources, or public references.

OverControl is designed to bring external information into your private session without exposing your full workspace context. Use web access when outside sources can improve the answer.

  <Card title="Off by default" icon="toggle-left">
    Web access is used only when you choose to use it.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Controlled by the user" icon="sliders-horizontal">
    You decide when external information is needed for a task.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

***

## Secure sharing

Sharing gives someone access to a conversation through a controlled link.

When you share a conversation, you can choose an expiration time and add a password if the content needs extra protection.

    Add a password when the conversation contains sensitive information.

  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Warning>
  Anyone with the share link, and the password if one is set, may be able to view the shared conversation until the link expires.
</Warning>

***

## Local exports

Exporting lets you save a local copy of a conversation before it is removed.

This is useful when you need to keep a record, preserve a draft, or continue work later.

Once exported, the copy is under your control. OverControl cannot protect files stored on your device, email, cloud drive, or shared folders.

<Tip>
  Use sharing for temporary access by someone else. Use export when you need your own local copy.
</Tip>

## Security architecture

OverControl uses security controls designed to reduce exposure during private AI work.

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Encrypted connections" icon="lock">
    Data is protected in transit between your device and OverControl.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Isolated sessions" icon="boxes">
    Sessions are kept separate to avoid persistent shared context.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Minimal retention" icon="minimize">
    Conversation content is not stored as long-term platform history.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Temporary file handling" icon="timer">
    Uploaded files are processed for the session instead of becoming permanent storage.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

***

## Account and service data

Some information is needed to operate the service.

This may include account information, authentication identifiers, limited technical logs, cookie preferences, or analytics data for security and legal obligations.

This information is separate from chatbot conversation content.
