Mistral AI renamed its 'Memory' feature to 'Knowledge Base' and clarified data handling practices. Previously, the policy stated that sensitive data in user inputs might be stored as Memories to provide personalized answers, with users able to access, delete, or turn off the feature. The updated policy states that Knowledge Base will not seek to store sensitive data included in user inputs, and users can control the feature through settings. The effective date changed from July 27, 2026 to September 3, 2026.

The updated policy clarifies that Mistral AI's Knowledge Base feature (formerly Memory) will not seek to store sensitive data included in user inputs without explicit consent. Previously, the policy stated that sensitive data such as health details might be stored as a Memory. The revised terms establish that users retain control over the feature and can access, add, delete, or edit their Knowledge Base entries at any time through settings, or turn off the feature entirely.
What you can do
→ Review your Knowledge Base settings to understand what data is stored and adjust retention preferences if needed.
→ If you have existing Memories, note that they will be retained in Knowledge Base; you can delete or edit them through settings at any time.
→ Disable the Knowledge Base feature entirely through settings if you prefer not to store any interaction history.
