Zero data retention (ZDR) and data retention by AI provider

Zero data retention (ZDR) means an AI provider keeps no copy of your prompts or responses once it has answered. Many providers keep API data for a while by default to check for abuse, and each one gates ZDR differently. Below are the 16 providers you can connect to Meetily, each summary dated and linked to the vendor's own policy.

Each page documents the vendor's default retention, zero-data-retention (ZDR) availability, training defaults, and how Meetily routes traffic through that provider.
