> Now, no matter what app I am using on my iPhone or Mac, the selected text or the current webpage from Safari will be passed automatically to COPILOT. Then I just ask it whatever I need and watch until it reaches the goal autonomously.

Could you please provide details about what privacy and security guarantees you make about user data? This is noticeably absent from the FAQ.

Is Copilot compliant with the GDPR?

Thank you.

Sure, let me explain. First of all, Apple Shortcuts is secure by design due to the way Apple built it. All the actions from a shortcut, any shortcut, are visible to the user. That is why I said the app is open-source. Everything it does is visible, especially when running in Debug Mode, where both the input and output data of the actions are displayed before actually processing that data further. I actually recommend running it first in Debug Mode for a full overview of how it works. Second, Apple Shortcuts always asks for your permission first when any shortcut needs access to any data. So it will never automatically use any data without your consent. Lastly, fully detailed logs for each conversation are stored in iCloud - Shortcuts folder - COPILOT folder, for both full transparency and future reference of old conversations. I hope you understand now that user data is safe. Thank you!

Thanks! Is there any Copilot-operated server involved in any of the features, or are the only servers ever used run by openai.com and google.com? Does all of the decision logic about how to do Google searches run client-side on my phone?

For the autonomous modes, is the "main loop" contained within the shortcut itself, running on my phone, or is there a server involved, sending push notifications down to me from the cloud?

Does Copilot retain any logs of my usage? What about OpenAI, and Google?

Only one type of request will be sent to me, to my licensing server, which validates the license key received after purchase to provide the Premium set of shortcuts or the latest version. So when installing COPILOT or checking for updates, that request sends the license key received after purchase along with the current version installed and returns the links to the Premium version of COPILOT shortcuts or the latest one when an update is required. Any other requests are between your phone, OpenAI and Google. So yes, the "main loop" happens within the shortcut itself, and the current progress notifications are sent from it.
