Zero Data Retention in AI: How Ephemeral Volatile Memory Protects Privacy
Zero Data Retention (ZDR) is an enterprise security standard ensuring that prompts, completions, and customer context documents are processed purely in ephemeral volatile memory with zero persistence on disk logs or model training sets.
Overview #
Zero Data Retention (ZDR) is an enterprise security standard ensuring that prompts, completions, and customer context documents are processed purely in ephemeral volatile memory with zero persistence on disk logs or model training sets.
The Security Risks of Public AI Endpoints #
Default consumer AI interfaces frequently store chat transcripts for reinforcement learning training and quality review. In enterprise environments involving confidential codebases, personal health information (HIPAA), or financial telemetry, this creates severe compliance violations.
API100's Stateless Proxy Guarantee #
API100 operates a strict 100% Zero-Retention Privacy policy. Transmissions through api.apihundred.com/v1 are piped via TLS 1.3 in RAM buffers. No prompt text or completion tokens are ever serialized to disk logs, database tables, or third-party analytical systems.
Frequently Asked Questions #
Q: Does API100 use customer prompts to train AI models?
Never. API100 has strict commercial zero-retention contracts with all upstream labs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google), prohibiting any model training or disk storage of customer tokens.
