Data retention
Also known as: retention policy
Data retention is how long prompts, outputs, and logs are kept — by a provider or by your own system.
- Providers keep logs for varying periods (check their policy).
- Your system: how long do you store conversations, tool calls, results?
- A direct privacy and compliance question.
Ask before you build: "what do we store, and for how long?" is a question with a legal answer, not just a technical one. Decide it up front.
