Elon Musk says Grok Bot saves sensitive information in a vault. It is a relevant privacy detail for an AI assistant, but his brief announcement does not explain what information is saved or how the vault works.
Why it mattersThat leaves the useful question unanswered: a vault can sound reassuring, but the word alone tells users little about access or protection.
Discuss: Would you trust an AI assistant with sensitive information if its “vault” protections were not explained?

xAI Watch Update What changedBASENOR says Grok’s Enterprise Vault is available only to Grok Enterprise customers, not to free-tier users or Grok Business customers. The publication says Enterprise pricing is not public and requires contacting xAI; it lists Grok Business at $30 per seat per month.
BASENOR also says xAI describes the vault as physically and logically isolated from Grok’s consumer infrastructure, with data on a dedicated data plane. Those are claims about how the service is designed, not independent evidence of how its protections perform in practice.
On encryption, BASENOR says the vault uses application-level encryption and supports customer-managed encryption keys, leaving the organisation in control of those keys. That adds useful detail for businesses weighing whether to put confidential work in Grok, while leaving the important security claims to be tested.
