OpenCode Quietly Removes 'Zero Data Retention' Privacy Policy
99991 · ghdev · 2026-07-31
A developer raised an issue on GitHub noting that the "zero-retention policy" statement has been quietly removed from the OpenCode Go documentation.
A comparison with an archived web page clearly shows that older docs explicitly promised not to retain user data, but this privacy guarantee has vanished in the latest version. This change has sparked privacy concerns within the community, with the author urging official clarification on current data handling practices:
- Who exactly gets access to the data now?
- What do the providers do with this data?
- Does this policy shift affect all models or only specific ones?
