**A:** No, your data is never sent anywhere unless you explicitly choose to share it or you connect an external model provider. Everything inside Open WebUI runs and is stored locally on your machine or server, giving you full control over your data at all times. We encourage you not to simply take our word for it: our entire codebase is hosted publicly, so you can inspect exactly how everything works, and if you ever notice anything concerning, please report it to us on our repo immediately.
### Q: Can I use Open WebUI in outer space (e.g., Mars and beyond) or other extreme environments?
**A:** **Yes.** Open WebUI is fully self-hosted and does not rely on persistent internet connectivity, making it suitable for environments where cloud-based systems are impractical or impossible. As long as the underlying hardware can run a supported runtime and execute an LLM locally or on a reachable internal network, Open WebUI will function normally regardless of location.
This includes outer space and off-planet environments such as spacecraft, space stations, lunar bases, and Mars transit or surface habitats, where communication delays or total isolation make external dependencies unworkable. Open WebUI’s offline-first architecture ensures that models, tools, and data remain local and predictable even under extreme latency or complete disconnection.
The same principles apply in harsh terrestrial settings, including submarines, polar research stations, underground facilities, air-gapped networks, disaster zones, and mobile command environments. In short, if your system can boot, power itself, and run an LLM, Open WebUI will run—by design.
### Q: Why am I asked to sign up? Where are my data being sent to?
**A:** We require you to sign up to become the admin user for enhanced security. This ensures that if the Open WebUI is ever exposed to external access, your data remains secure. It's important to note that everything is kept local. We do not collect your data. When you sign up, all information stays within your server and never leaves your device. Your privacy and security are our top priorities, ensuring that your data remains under your control at all times.
