What most AI platforms do with your data
By default, major AI platforms log your conversations. This data is used for product improvement, safety monitoring, and in some cases model training. For most everyday conversations this is low-stakes. But for sensitive queries — legal questions, medical concerns, personal situations, confidential business information, early-stage ideas — conversation logging creates real privacy exposure.
Even if you trust the platform, you're creating a permanent record of thoughts, questions and information that didn't need to be recorded.
How Incognito Mode works
AskSary's Incognito Mode — listed as Anonymous Mode in the interface — creates a session with zero data retention. Your conversation is not stored on AskSary's servers, not associated with your account, and not accessible after the session ends. The moment you close the session, all data is permanently deleted.
This is structurally different from simply not being logged in. It's an explicitly zero-retention session designed for privacy-sensitive use.
When to use it
- Medical or legal questions you don't want permanently associated with your account
- Confidential business information — early-stage strategy, M&A thinking, competitive analysis
- Personal situations — relationship concerns, mental health questions, private decisions
- Sensitive research — journalism, investigative work, sensitive topics
- Client work where you're handling information that belongs to a client and shouldn't be stored on third-party systems
What it does and doesn't protect
Incognito Mode protects against data retention on AskSary's servers — your conversation is not stored. It does not protect against: your device's browsing history, network monitoring at your ISP or employer level, or screenshots taken during the session. For complete operational security on genuinely sensitive matters, Incognito Mode is one layer of a broader privacy approach, not a complete solution.
Handling sensitive conversations responsibly
💡 General principle: Don't share information with any AI platform that you wouldn't be comfortable with if it became visible. Even with zero-retention sessions, the best practice for genuinely sensitive information is to keep it general — describe the situation without identifying details where the specific identifiers aren't necessary for the answer you need.
Incognito Mode is available on all AskSary plans, including the free tier. Toggle it on from the settings before starting a sensitive conversation.
