Does Brave train on your data?

How we read it: Brave's browser privacy policy, revised 23 September 2026, makes the no-training promise once, in the Leo section, and doesn't hedge it. The same paragraph says Brave doesn't store or retain prompts, responses or context on its servers, apart from caching large prompts for minutes. Conversation history is kept on the device, and in Sync if you turn that on. The setting that turns history off or deletes conversations is named to the URL, brave://settings/leo-ai. B and not A because this is a promise Brave could withdraw by editing the page. Prompts still pass through its servers.

How to opt out of Brave AI training
Plan by plan, from what Brave's own policy says about refusing. Where it publishes the steps, they're listed here with the limits they carry. Where there's nothing to switch off, or nothing graded, this says so instead of inventing a menu path.

Brave is graded B, and a company that's earned that can say so with the verdict itself. The image below links back to this page and shows the live grade. If the grade changes, the badge changes the same day, wherever it's embedded. It's free and it isn't for sale.
