A suprise to nobody

Data sent entirely in the clear occurs during the initial registration of the app, including:

  • organization id
  • the version of the software development kit used to create the app
  • user OS version
  • language selected in the configuration

Doesn't like very important information. Anyway, if you care about privacy you should not be using the official app or API. Go on OpenRouter and use DeepSeek models served by other inference providers with better privacy policies.
