Some of what you do in Ve stays on your Mac, and some of it doesn’t. The table below is the whole answer. There’s no shorter version that’s still true.

Where each kind of data goes

Identity always leaves

When you sign in and create a workspace, Ve calls auth.ve.ai and us.api.ve.ai. Your email address, your workspace and who belongs to it are held on our servers. There’s no offline account, so this happens on the first request the app makes, whatever else you do.

Prompts go to your model provider

Whatever you type in chat reaches the provider you connected, under your own account, the same way it would in that provider’s own app. See Connect a model.

What Ve records about your browsing

Once you’re signed in, Ve records the pages you visit and what’s on them, into a database on your Mac. It’s on by default. There’s no switch for this in Settings > Privacy. If you don’t want a page recorded, open it in Incognito.

Controls in Settings > Privacy

Under Data on the same page:
  • Clear browsing data removes history, cookies, cache and more.
  • Site permissions covers per-site location, camera, microphone and cookie access.
  • Certificates opens the trusted certificates held in your macOS Keychain.

Saved passwords

Your saved passwords stay on your Mac, in Chromium’s password store behind the macOS keystore. The model never receives one. Ve resolves them locally and types them into the page. You’ll only be offered a stored login when its saved origin matches the site you’re actually on, so a lookalike domain can’t claim it.
The Cloud sync row in Settings > Password doesn’t sync anything. Your vault stays on this device.
