Zero-Retention Deep Dive

Zero-Retention: How We Minimize Data Exposure

Zero-retention is a design goal: keep data in short-lived memory, avoid long-term storage, and scope access to operational needs.

Step 1

Short-lived context is read for reply quality.

Step 2

Signals are used to generate a response.

Step 3

Output is delivered and context is discarded.

Short-lived context lives in memory for processing and is discarded after use. Persistent storage is limited to necessary account operations.

Ephemeral memory: minutes to hours

Operational storage: active account + limited retention

Long-term storage: avoided unless required by law

Retention policies are designed to minimize exposure while keeping the system functional.
