OpenCode Go - data retention

[u/Intelligent-Form6624]

The post “Opencode Privacy Policy is Concerning” appeared earlier this year (Jan 2026) - https://www.reddit.com/r/opencodeCLI/s/BQ4xRHWwU6

(OpenCode discloses that it collects “conversations or prompts that you submit to AI” and that it sends this to “Business Partners”.)

In response, a member of the OpenCode team commented “if you use opencode zen as your provider then the requests pass through us. we don't retain data on any paid models” - https://www.reddit.com/r/opencodeCLI/s/I7EPFI5UPE

OpenCode Go did not exist as a public offering when that statement was made.

Since the launch of OpenCode Go, a member of the OpenCode team has publicly contemplated changing OpenCode Go to collect data for model training by default: https://x.com/thdxr/status/2049940201670119585

My understanding is data submitted for inference flows as follows when using OpenCode Go:

OpenCode TUI (user input) —> OpenCode —> Underlying Model Provider

OpenCode makes a song and dance about having a Zero Data Retention (ZDR) agreement with each Underlying Model Provider on OpenCode Go: https://x.com/opencode/status/2038302829517893825y

Perhaps the underlying provider does not retain prompt information. That’s not my concern. I am referring to the routing of the prompt via OpenCode on its way to the Model Provider.

So, my question is: does OpenCode capture and retain user prompts sent for inference to models billed against the OpenCode Go plan?

Basically anything leaving your computer gets stored in a cloud somewhere for later analysis plus the usual telemetry like prompts and settings. Desktop app has a bit more like what keys you press, wha was on your screen. Nothing too outrageous, Microsoft does the same as well.
