This is an extract from an archived copy, fetched 7 September 2026. n8n didn't author this page for us. It's a snapshot we captured from https://docs.n8n.io/privacy-security/. We hold the whole page and publish this part of it: the sentence a verdict rests on, with the text either side, so you can see it hasn't been lifted out of an exception.
The entry cited this capture from 7 September 2026 until 21 September 2026, when the document was re-read; it now cites the capture of 5 October 2026. This page stays so that anything that linked it still works.
The passage, in context
Data is only sent to AI services if workspaces have opted in to use the assistant. The Assistant is enabled by default for n8n Cloud users. When a workspace opts in to use the assistant, node-specific data is transmitted only during direct interactions and active sessions with the AI assistant, ensuring no unnecessary data sharing occurs.

Checking the rest of it
The complete page is kept here and isn't republished. It's n8n's copyrighted document, and an extract is what a reader needs to check a quotation. The SHA-256 above is of that whole snapshot: fetch the page yourself, hash it, and you can tell whether ours has been altered without having to trust us.
If you work for n8n, or you are researching this and need the full capture, ask us for it and we will send it. If you believe a quote here is wrong or out of date, send us the paragraph. The correction gets published beside the clause.
