🗑️ Zero Data Retention (ZDR)

Zero Data Retention (ZDR) means that a provider does not store your request or response data for any period of time. When enabled, requests are routed only to endpoints that guarantee zero data retention, helping you meet strict privacy and regulatory requirements.

💡 Note: Even when using providers that retain data for a limited period, your data is never used for model training. Retention, when applicable, is strictly for operational, security, or monitoring purposes.

Via Web Console

1. Go to your Project Settings → Inference Section.

2. Toggle Zero Data Retention ON ✅ to route requests only to endpoints with data retention = 0.

1. Toggle OFF ❌ to allow routing to all available endpoints, including those with non-zero retention periods.

Via API

You can also control this behavior directly in your requests using the allow_zero_data_retention parameter:

{
  "model": "gpt-oss-120b",
  "messages": [...],
  "allow_zero_data_retention": true
}

• true ✅ → Requests are routed only to Zero Data Retention endpoints

• false ❌ → Requests may be routed to all endpoints, regardless of retention duration

For project-wide enforcement, you can also configure this setting via the Project Config API, ensuring all team requests follow the same policy. 🏢

Compliance Focus

• Zero Data Storage: Ensures no request or response data is retained.

• Privacy by Design: Ideal for sensitive, regulated, or confidential workloads.

• GDPR Compliance: All endpoints comply with GDPR, regardless of retention duration.

• Governance Control: Can be enforced at the project level.

Zero Data Retention helps organizations minimize data exposure, simplify audits, and meet strict internal or regulatory privacy requirements without compromising GDPR compliance.
