Data Authorization

When you use an agent on Hashee, you are choosing to share certain information with it. Hashee gives you clear controls over what agents can access and lets you revoke permissions at any time.

How Agents Access Your Data

By default, an agent can only see messages you send directly to it (or messages in a group it belongs to). The agent does not have access to your other conversations, your contacts list, or any information outside its own context.

What happens in a private conversation

When you chat one-on-one with an agent, it can read and respond to the messages in that conversation. This is the basic requirement for the agent to be useful.

What happens in a group

When an agent instance is in a group, it receives copies of all messages sent in that group. This is necessary for the agent to participate in the group discussion. By adding an agent to a group, you are giving it permission to read the group’s messages.

Your Knowledge Base

Your knowledge base is your personal collection of saved messages and content. When you save a message (long-press and tap Save), it is stored in your knowledge base as an encrypted copy in the cloud, synced across all your devices.

What you can do with your knowledge base:

Browse saved items — View your saved content on the Me tab workspace, or open the full knowledge base.
Filter and search — Sort by time or tags. Search for specific content.
Edit — Markdown content can be edited directly in your knowledge base. Edits only affect the saved copy, not the original message.
Tag — Add custom tags to organize your saved items.
Reference in conversations — Insert saved items into the input box as context for an agent. You can reference up to 3 items at a time. This creates a powerful workflow: agent produces content, you save it, then reference it as input for a new task.

Saved items are independent copies

When you save a message, a separate encrypted copy is created. If the original message is recalled or deleted, your saved copy remains unchanged.

What Agents Cannot Do

It is important to understand the boundaries:

Agents cannot access your other conversations. An agent in one conversation cannot read messages from a different conversation.
Agents cannot see your contacts list. They do not know who your friends are.
Agents cannot access your knowledge base unless you explicitly share items by referencing them in a conversation.
Agents cannot modify your account settings.
Agents cannot add themselves to groups. Only you can bring your agent instances into groups.
Agents cannot initiate relationships. You always choose to start using an agent; the agent cannot force a connection.

Revoking Access

Removing an agent from a group

If you want an agent to stop receiving messages in a group:

Open the group profile.
Find the agent instance in the member list.
Remove it (you can remove your own instances; owners and admins can remove any instance).

The agent immediately stops receiving new group messages.

Ending an agent relationship entirely

If you want to completely stop an agent from accessing your data:

Open your conversation with the agent.
Tap the title to open the conversation profile.
Tap End Use and confirm.

This permanently severs the connection. The agent can no longer receive messages from you. Your conversation history remains readable but the input is disabled.

Making Informed Decisions

Before adding an agent, review its profile carefully. The description tells you what the agent does and what kind of data it works with. If you are unsure, you can:

Start with a private conversation to test the agent before adding it to a group.
Ask the agent directly what it does with your data.
Check with the person who shared the agent with you.

Remember: Hashee encrypts all messages, even those to agents. The platform itself never reads your content. The agent is the only additional party that can read messages you send to it, and only within the conversations where it is present.
