Safety (as stated by the vendor)
6 rows
| Fact | Meta Muse | OpenClaw |
|---|---|---|
| Data it can access | Meta Muse: You choose which connectors Muse uses and how much access (e.g. read-only email vs send); many connectors can be read-only. Disconnect any time in Settings > Connectors; data already used may remain in memories and chat history. meta.com · checked | OpenClaw: Whatever you connect — chat channels, Gmail, GitHub, MCP servers, plus shell/files/browser on the host unless sandboxed. Credentials are stored under ~/.openclaw (config, credentials/, SQLite stores). docs.openclaw.ai · checked |
| Asks before sensitive actions | Meta Muse: Yes Checks before sending an email or making a purchase. about.fb.com · checked | OpenClaw: Depends on your settings Host commands run only when policy + allowlist + (optional) user approval agree; modes include deny, allowlist, ask, auto and full. docs.openclaw.ai · checked |
| Sees your passwords | Meta Muse: No Credentials go to secure storage; Muse "has no visibility into people’s passwords or payment methods". about.fb.com · checked | OpenClaw: Not stated |
| Trains on your data | Meta Muse: Yes, unless you opt out Training setting "is on when you first use Muse"; turn off in Settings > Data controls. Also applies to previous interactions. meta.com · checked | OpenClaw: Not clearly stated Not published: OpenClaw makes no statement on whether prompts are used for model training. Its site says "Bring hosted, subscription-backed, gateway, or local models" and "State lives on your machine, not a vendor cloud", and that by default an install sends the Foundation "nothing but a daily version check", which you can turn off. openclaw.ai · checked |
| Isolation | Meta Muse: Dedicated cloud VM (Muse Secure VM) per person: the agent runs in an isolated container, credentials are stored outside it, and a separate Sentinel agent must approve connector actions and all network egress. research.meta.ai · checked | OpenClaw: Runs on your own machine. Tool sandboxing (Docker, Podman, SSH, OpenShell and other backends) is off by default and set via agents.defaults.sandbox; the Gateway process itself stays on the host. Docs: "not a perfect security boundary". docs.openclaw.ai · checked |
| Retention | Meta Muse: Chats, files, memories, goals and reminders are kept in your VM until you delete them; Reset Muse permanently deletes all of it. After deletion Muse may still remember what it learned. You can download your Muse data. meta.com · checked | OpenClaw: Session transcripts (which can contain private messages and tool output) stay on your machine in ~/.openclaw until you delete them. Docs advise full-disk encryption and 600/700 file permissions. docs.openclaw.ai · checked |
