What does Ecosia document about sharing?
Ecosia's AI Search help page, last updated on 9 October 2026, describes AI Chat as a conversational feature that provides full-text answers. In its limitations list, the page includes “Share conversations with other people.” This is the documented answer to whether another person can receive an AI Chat conversation through a sharing feature.
The same page describes other AI Chat functions, including modes that change how the system processes questions. Web Source Mode instructs the AI to pull information directly from the live web for every query. Those processing modes leave the documented sharing limitation in place.
Does chat history provide a sharing option?
Chat history and conversation sharing are separate functions in Ecosia's documentation. The page says that chat history lets users save AI conversations and that saving it is optional. It also says users can activate Chat history in AI Search settings. These statements describe storage for the account holder.
Ecosia's account help page, last updated on 23 September 2026, says an Ecosia account is a login usable across Ecosia and that an account can save AI search chat history. The same page lists bookmarks, history, saved passwords, and open tabs outside the account's current sync. The account documentation therefore explains account features and browser sync limits, while the AI Search page still lists conversation sharing as unavailable.
What can you request from Ecosia?
The AI Search help page documents a copy request and a deletion request. Its wording is specific: a user can request a copy of all conversations or ask Ecosia to delete them, with the request sent to the address below.
privacy[at]ecosia.org
This is a request handled through Ecosia's privacy contact. The page does not describe a public conversation URL, a built-in export button, or another sharing method.
Where are saved conversations kept?
Ecosia's AI Search help page says conversations are stored in the browser's local storage for the chat interface. If a user opts in to save Chat history, the conversations are also stored on Ecosia's servers in encrypted form. The page also says AI is not designed for sensitive data and recommends never sharing personal, financial, health, or other sensitive information in the chat.
