Zero data retention

Example

A business selects an eligible API setup with a no-retention commitment.

Why people use it

It helps organizations limit how long a service keeps covered information.

What you'll hear

“Which information does the no-retention promise cover?”

What this means for you

Check which data, features and exceptions the commitment covers.

Can you control it?

Sometimes

Sometimes. Your choices depend on the tool and your access. The settings available to an everyday user may differ from those available to the people running it.

Common questions

Does zero retention mean information is never processed?

No. The service still processes covered information to do the task; the arrangement concerns keeping it afterward.

Is zero retention the same as no training use?

No. Keeping information and using it for training are separate questions.

Can some service information still be retained?

Possibly. Account records or usage details may be treated differently from the content covered by the arrangement.
