Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

We are hosting a shared Ollama instance and I would love to use open-webui instead of another UI we are currently using.
However, I want the users to be sure that noone else can read what they are chatting about. Not even an admin.

But my issue here is that chats are stored centrally and admins can see them.

I would love to have the possibility that chats are not saved at all except in the users local browser store.
And if they are stored, I would love to be able to truthfully tell the users that noone else can review them.

Describe the solution you'd like

Don't save the chats centrally. Use the local browser store on each client.

OR

If this is not possible, please introduce a switch to make sure that admins cannot review chats (and the switch may never been toggles from false to true).
