I'm a Rewind user and really enjoy the product, but this isn't quite true. Again, maybe this has changed since the beta, but the "Ask Rewind" page has the relevant info[1]:

> No audio, image, or video files ever leave your machine. Ask Rewind only sends relevant text-based data to the cloud, excluding personal sensitive information such as credit card and Social Security numbers.

> When you ask a question, only the text of the most relevant moments from your past are sent to GPT-4 to generate an answer.

Usually what is “relevant” is determined by vector search. So user has no control of what is being sent out. Is that how rewind work?

That’s what make me worried.

You can choose not to use the GPT-based feature, that is a recent addition, not really the core product
