Is my personal data shared with AI providers?

No account details go to the AI provider: no name, email address, user ID or payment data. A request carries the article and the instructions for it: the prompt, your own system prompt and the answer language.

The contents of a summary request

When you summarize an article or ask a question about it, Inoreader sends the article's title, source website, author when there is one, date and text, together with the prompt. The text is cut to its important parts, at most 15,000 words. The request also carries Inoreader's fixed instructions, the answer language when Default language is set to the interface language, and your own System prompt from Preferences > Intelligence > Article summaries. Whatever you type into a custom prompt or a question is sent as written, with HTML tags removed. Can I customize how summaries work? describes the prompts.

An Intelligence report sends the same fields for each selected article plus its URL. The request itself carries only the model, the messages and the API key.

Other features

Suggested tags send the article's title, source site, date and text, plus the names of your existing tags, to Google. Podcast and video enhancements send the transcript to OpenAI. YouTube transcripts come from Supadata, which receives the video address, and podcast audio is transcribed on Inoreader's own service. The AI overview on a mention's page sends the mention's name and recent article titles to OpenAI.

The receiving provider

Summaries, questions and reports go to the platform you chose under Preferences > Intelligence > Platforms: OpenAI by default, or Mistral or Claude (Anthropic), as Which AI platforms does Inoreader support? explains. With your own API key, the request runs on your account with that provider.

Private sources and publisher limits

Any article you summarize is sent, including articles from private sources such as newsletter feeds and saved web pages.

Publishers can opt out of AI features. Articles from a publisher who refused them are never sent, and you see "The publisher of this article does not allow AI features on its content." instead.

Data kept by Inoreader

Summaries are saved to your account, and a log of each request and answer is kept for 30 days. Innologica, the company behind Inoreader, holds an ISO 27001:2022 certificate, published on the Security commitment page.

Plans

Intelligence features are Pro, and the same rules on what is sent apply on every plan.
