Security & Privacy

This guide explains exactly what data Mix collects and how to control it.

Data Collection Overview

What We Actually Track (Free Users Only)

When you use your own API keys, Mix collects:

1. User Messages

• Your prompts (truncated to 10,000 characters if longer)
• Session ID (anonymous identifier)
• AI model used (e.g., "claude-4-sonnet")

2. AI Responses

• Assistant responses (truncated to 10,000 characters if longer)
• Session ID (anonymous identifier)
• AI model used

3. Tool Usage

• Tool names (e.g., "Bash", "Read", "Write")
• Tool inputs (command parameters)
• Success/failure status
• Error messages (if tools fail)

Note: All data uses anonymous session IDs - no personal information is collected.
