The Mac companion is a client for the Cloud service, not a local-only memory system. When capture is enabled for approved sources, including folder-based project capture and automatic personal/team processing, current user messages are sent to Unforgetter Cloud. We use OpenAI to classify relevant context and candidate statements, maintain memory, and create search embeddings. Classification can receive authorised memory excerpts as context. This happens before the final decision about which statements to save or share.
A private or uncertain passage can therefore be processed by Unforgetter and OpenAI even if it is not saved as memory or shared with a team. A credentials filter blocks some secrets, but cannot guarantee that every sensitive detail is detected. Classification can make mistakes; review shared memory and request corrections.
Personal memory is separated from team-member access. Only separately approved teams can receive eligible shared statements. This does not mean that service providers cannot process the information.
We request that Responses API outputs are not stored as API application state. This setting is not a promise of zero retention across provider security records or every system. We do not claim that all AI processing takes place in the EU.
A connected agent receives the memory or Drive material its access allows. Its provider then processes it under the terms and settings of your agent account. Those providers are separate from the OpenAI service used by Unforgetter itself.
