# Does Tuhi send my questions or files to the internet?

No. Tuhi runs entirely on your Mac. Your questions, your storage figures and your files never leave your device, and Tuhi works without an internet connection.

When Apple Intelligence writes Tuhi's wording, it uses Apple's **on-device** model, not an online chatbot. The conversation history is stored only on your Mac, and you can clear it from the trash icon at any time.

The one thing that does go out is something you explicitly choose to send: a support ticket, which you review before tapping **Send**. See [what a support ticket includes](https://storagestudio.us/faq/tuhi-assistant/what-is-sent-in-a-support-ticket).
