    Zero Data Retention Policy (ZDRP)

    Complete privacy protection with zero data retention for all AI interactions

    Last updated: December 11, 2025

    No Data Storage

    Your prompts and responses are never stored by AI providers

    No Training

    Your data is never used to train or improve AI models

    Full Control

    You control which models you use - only ZDRP-compliant endpoints

    What is Zero Data Retention Policy (ZDRP)?

    Zero Data Retention Policy (ZDRP) means that AI providers will not store your data for any period of time. When you use ZDRP-compliant models, your prompts, conversations, and generated content are processed and immediately discarded - never stored, never retained, never used for training.

    This is the highest level of privacy protection available for AI interactions. Unlike standard models that may retain your data for various periods (ranging from days to years), ZDRP guarantees complete data deletion immediately after processing.

    How We Implement ZDRP

    ZDRP-Only Routing

    We exclusively use AI models and endpoints that have a verified Zero Data Retention policy. All 300+ models available on our platform are ZDRP-compliant, ensuring your data is never stored.

    Provider Verification

    We work with providers to verify their data policies and only route to endpoints that guarantee zero data retention. Each endpoint's policy is tracked and verified before being made available.

    Text and Image Generation

    Our ZDRP policy applies to both text conversations and image generation. Unlike competitors who may retain generated images for training, we guarantee zero retention across all features.

    No Persistent Caching

    While some providers use in-memory caching for performance (which is not considered data retention), we ensure that no persistent storage of your data occurs at any point in the processing pipeline.

    ZDRP vs Standard Models

    Understanding the difference between ZDRP-compliant models and standard models helps you make informed decisions about your data privacy:

    ZDRP-Compliant Models

    • No data storage after processing
    • No training on your data
    • Complete privacy protection
    • GDPR-compliant by design
    • Ideal for sensitive information

    Standard Models

    • Data may be stored for days to years
    • Data may be used for training
    • Privacy concerns for sensitive data
    • May not comply with strict regulations
    • Limited control over data usage
