If you choose the "Custom endpoint" AI provider and enter a base URL, the AI features above send the same content - and the API key you enter, if any - to that URL instead of to a provider above. Nothing is sent until you configure it, and where it goes is entirely your choice: a model on your own server (Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM), your Azure OpenAI deployment, your company gateway, or a hosted service. ThinkRank has no relationship with that endpoint, so its own terms and privacy policy apply. | |
