Confidentiality
The confidentiality flag marks data that must not leave the secure Smartchat hosting environment. It controls which features are available: any feature that sends data to an external system is blocked when the Space is confidential.
Where confidentiality is set
Section titled “Where confidentiality is set”Each Space has a confidentiality setting (“Space contains confidential data”) configured by the Space Owner in the Admin Panel. When a Space is marked as confidential, all data in that Space is treated as confidential.
What confidentiality guards
Section titled “What confidentiality guards”Features that send data to systems outside the secure Smartchat environment are blocked for confidential Spaces. Currently this applies to:
- Native Web Search: web search sends parts of the conversation to an external model provider. If the active Space is confidential, web search is unavailable.
Future features that transmit data to external systems will be guarded by the same mechanism.
Why this matters
Section titled “Why this matters”Models hosted by T-Systems in the T-Cloud (indicated by the Telekom T logo in the model picker) process data within the secure environment. Web search and similar features route data through external provider infrastructure. The confidentiality flag ensures that data requiring the highest level of protection stays within the secure boundary.
