The inference engine is the core component processing user requests; a claim that it keeps user data private is a direct statement about the privacy posture of the primary processing mechanism.
Interpretive note: The excerpt states two independent properties: high performance and keeping user data private. The primary claim is privacy; high performance is recorded in omitted_material. The clause does not define the technical mechanism by which privacy is kept, so the claim rests on the stated design goal rather than a verified implementation detail.
