Not provable.
If you have a choice between a company that does not say it's private and a company that at least does a pinky promise, and if privacy of your inference is important, then I would give it a try.
If you want to be fully private, run ollama on Apple Silicon.
BTW I have Venice lifetime accounts if you don't care about logging in somewhat inconveniently or want to use the API (but we don't know if that will be free for pro users after beta).

Thanks for the explanation. I expected as much from it not being open source.
I do have apple silicon but really wanted something self hosted to be mobile accessible. Can’t justify cost of building my own box at home for AI at the moment.
Will take a look at the lifetime Pro. I have a metamask wallet so should be able to get it setup
Well, open source would not guarantee anything if they run it on their servers, you have no way to verify what they're running even if it would be open.
