How Oasis Collects Interaction Data (and What Kahana Receives)

How the setting works

In Oasis, open Settings → Privacy (about:preferences#privacy). The personalization / data collection checkbox controls whether Kahana receives identifying user fields. It maps to opt_in_data_collection_use in the payload.

• Default (unchecked): anonymized payload—no user object, no email or account ID.
• Opted in (checked): includes user with email, user_id, locale, and opt_in_data_collection_use: true.

Field reference

What Oasis does not collect

• Location history or precise geo tracking for advertising
• Search or browsing history sold to data brokers
• Social likes, purchase graphs, or interest profiles for third-party ads
• Bulk exfiltration of files, passwords, or credentials stored on your device

Productivity and AI features are built so sensitive information can remain local; the payloads above are limited to what is needed to run and improve the assistant experience.

How Kahana uses this data

• Improve assistant quality, latency, and reliability
• Debug issues and prioritize fixes
• Understand feature usage in aggregate—not to sell your data

If you turn personalization off, new interactions use the anonymized shape (no user block). Contact us via the support links below if you have questions about retention or deletion.

Change the setting

1. Open Oasis and go to the menu, then Settings
2. Select Privacy & Security
3. Find the personalization / interaction data collection option
4. Check to opt in (identifying fields included) or uncheck for default anonymized payloads
