Yes, it adds more data types. Voice may be processed by third-party speech services. Images may contain EXIF metadata (location, device). Files like PDFs are processed in their entirety and may be stored longer.
Detailed Answer
Yes, it adds more data types:
- Voice: Audio may be processed by speech-to-text services (potentially third-party) before reaching the LLM. Some providers retain voice recordings.
- Images: Uploaded images are stored and processed. They may contain EXIF metadata (location, device info, timestamps).
- Files: Uploaded documents (PDFs, spreadsheets) are processed in their entirety. Content may be stored longer than conversation text.
Always check provider-specific policies for each data type.
