Memory Feature and Sensitive Health Data Storage — Mistral AI

What it is

Le Chat's Memory feature stores details from your conversations to personalise future responses, and if you mention health or other sensitive information, this may be saved as a 'Memory' — requiring your explicit consent for that sensitive data.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

If you mention health conditions, medications, or other sensitive details in Le Chat conversations, this information may be stored as a personalised Memory that affects future AI responses, and you must actively manage or delete these Memories in settings to prevent ongoing retention.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.

Delete Your Data

Log into Le Chat, go to your account settings, find the Memory section, and delete individual Memories or turn off the Memory feature entirely to prevent storage of sensitive personal details from your conversations.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

Sensitive health information you casually mention in a chat could be stored and referenced in future conversations without you being fully aware, raising significant privacy risks.

View original clause language

If you include sensitive data in your Input, such as health details, this data may be stored as a Memory to provide you with more relevant and personalized answers.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision directly implicates GDPR Art. 9 (processing of special categories of personal data), which requires explicit consent (Art. 9(2)(a)) or another enumerated condition for processing health data. The policy claims to rely on 'explicit consent' for sensitive data saved as Memories, but the mechanism — derived from what a user types in a chat interface — may not meet the GDPR standard for freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous explicit consent. French CNIL guidance on health data processing is particularly stringent. UK GDPR Schedule 1 DPA 2018 applies for UK users. (2)
