Ollama FAQ, Ollama, 2026, FAQ: Does Ollama send my prompts and answers back to ollama.com?.
Open the original- What it measures
- The same answer says Ollama runs locally, and that it does not see your prompts or data when you run models locally. The cloud statement applies only when you choose a cloud-hosted model.
- What it does not show
- The FAQ describes Ollama's own cloud service. A dictation app that uses Ollama, or any other tool that runs a model, may handle audio and text differently, so check that app's own privacy page.
