# Privacy & Data: Your AI, Your Rules

*Because your prompts aren't anyone else's training data*

Building with AI means your data flows through multiple systems—AnyAPI, model providers, and everything in between. Here's exactly what happens to your information, who sees what, and how to lock it down tight.

## 🛡️ The AnyAPI Promise

*We're the pipeline, not the vault*

**The TL;DR:** AnyAPI doesn't store your prompts or responses. Period.

**What we do track:**

* 📊 **Metadata only** (tokens used, response time, model called)
* 🎯 **Anonymous sampling** for model ranking (completely disconnected from your account)
* 📈 **Usage stats** to power your [activity dashboard](https://dash.anyapi.ai/?page=usage)

**What we never do:**

* 👀 Read your conversations for fun
* 🏪 Sell your data to third parties
* 🤖 Train our own models on your prompts
* 📱 Associate anonymous samples with your identity

## 🏢 Provider Policies: The Real Talk

*Each AI provider plays by different rules*

Every model provider on AnyAPI has their own data policies. Some are strict, others... less so. Here's how to navigate the landscape:

### 🎓 Training Data Policies

**The reality check:** Some providers use your prompts to improve their models. Others promise they won't.

**Your protection:** AnyAPI gives you granular control:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "model": "anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet",
  "data_policy": {
    "training_allowed": false,  // Block providers that train on data
    "retention_days": 30        // Limit how long they can keep it
  },
  "messages": [...]
}
```

### 🕐 Data Retention Reality

**The spectrum:**

* **Zero retention:** Some providers delete everything immediately (rare but awesome)
* **Short term:** 30-90 days for abuse monitoring (common)
* **Compliance based:** Longer periods for legal/regulatory reasons
* **Indefinite:** Some free models keep data forever (buyer beware)

**Your move:** Check each provider's retention policy before sending sensitive data. AnyAPI shows this info upfront—no hunting through legal docs required.

## ⚙️ Privacy Controls That Actually Work

### Request-Level Protection

Lock down individual requests when handling sensitive data:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "model": "anyapi/auto",
  "providers": {
    "require": ["zero-retention", "no-training"],
    "exclude": ["high-risk-provider"]
  },
  "messages": [
    {
      "role": "user", 
      "content": "Analyze this confidential financial report..."
    }
  ]
}
```

## 🎯 Smart Privacy Strategies

### The Layered Defense

* **Layer 1:** AnyAPI doesn't log by default
* **Layer 3:** Request-level overrides for ultra-sensitive data
* **Layer 4:** Data minimization in your prompts

### Data Classification

**Public data:** Use any provider, optimize for cost and speed
**Internal data:** Stick to no-training providers with short retention
**Confidential data:** Zero-retention providers only, audit everything
**Regulated data:** Compliance-certified providers with full paper trails

## 📚 The Fine Print (Made Simple)

**Full legal details:** Check our [privacy policy](https://anyapi.ai/privacy) and [terms of service](https://anyapi.ai/terms)

**Provider specifics:** Each model's data policy is shown in real-time—no guessing required

**Questions or concerns:** Contact our privacy team directly through the dashboard

**Remember:** Privacy isn't a checkbox—it's an ongoing practice. Review your settings regularly, especially as new providers join the platform.
