The Libre WebUI Software
Local-First Architecture
Libre WebUI is designed as a self-hosted, local-first application. When you run Libre WebUI:
- Your conversations, documents, settings, and API keys are stored locally on your machine or self-hosted server
- No telemetry collection — We do not collect usage data, analytics, or any information about how you use the software
- AES-256-GCM encryption — Your data is encrypted at rest using enterprise-grade encryption
Third-Party AI Providers
When you connect Libre WebUI to external AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.), your conversations are sent directly to those providers according to their respective privacy policies.
Depending on the features and settings you choose, your Libre WebUI deployment may connect to AI, embedding, image-generation, text-to-speech, OAuth, model-catalog, plugin, Cloudflare Turnstile, and Libre Claw endpoints. Those requests are made by the deployment you control and are governed by the policies of the services and operators you choose.
For maximum privacy, we recommend using local models via Ollama, which keeps all processing on your device.
Document Processing (RAG)
When you upload documents for chat (PDF, text files, etc.), these documents are processed and stored locally on your machine. Vector embeddings are generated and stored locally.
