Your input is first processed by AI Chat to understand how to build the best possible answer. Based on your prompt, AI Chat selects and shares it with either OpenAI or Google to generate a response, depending on which model is best suited for your request. This helps ensure you receive more accurate and relevant answers. Moreover, based on your input, AI Chat may identify prompts with potential for further exploration-either through AI Chat itself or by searching for something relevant on Google. In such cases, your input may be shared with Google to generate Search Suggestions that enrich the response. You can always opt out of the Google Search Suggestions feature in AI Chat "Settings".

54

55

Additionally, AI Chat also identifies prompts related to shopping, and may enrich its responses with relevant product suggestions from our partners. If AI Chat's response to your input includes information about specific products, AI Chat will share relevant keywords, plus your country, language, and a partial IP address (with the last octet removed, to prevent precise identification), with our third-party partners, and return a shopping suggestion if possible. We will ask for your consent for such data processing when our service detects for the first time that it may include shopping suggestions in the response(s) while you're using AI Chat. These shopping suggestions are advertisements, and Opera may earn a commission from them. AI Chat does not share your prompts with our advertising partners (or anyone else) for this purpose, nor does AI Chat use your prompts to build a profile of you or your interests. You can opt out of this feature in the "Settings" menu at any time.

57

After your session is complete, your chats, URLs of sites you visited, and tab names will be stored locally on your device and on Opera servers but will not be retained by OpenAI or Google. This is needed to allow you to continue your conversations with AI Chat.

The aforementioned data will be automatically removed after 30 days from Opera's servers but if you use AI Chat while logged into your Opera Account, then they will still be available on your device. At any time, you can delete your chats (both stored locally and on Opera servers) by using a provided option.

It is also stored, fully encrypted, on Opera's servers, and will be automatically deleted after 365 days if you use AI Chat while logged into your Opera Account.If you use AI Chat without being logged into your Opera account, the data will be deleted after 30 days. At any time, you can delete your chats (both stored locally and on Opera servers) by using a provided option.
