Together AI's API training default

Together AI's privacy policy is explicit that it does not train on your data without your consent: "We do not use any data collected from you to train our models without your explicit opt-in and consent. You may revoke that consent at any time and request deletion." [1] Together's privacy and security documentation reinforces this, stating that data sharing for training other models is opt-in and not enabled by default. [2]

When Meetily users select Together AI as their summary provider via BYOK, the request hits Together's OpenAI-compatible API under your own API key and your account's settings. The opt-in-only training default applies unless you have separately enabled data sharing for training in your Privacy & Security controls.

Retention

Together AI's developer documentation states that Together does not store inputs or outputs by default and that the platform supports zero data retention, while temporary caching may occur for performance unless configured otherwise. [2] Together's customer-facing privacy policy, separately, describes retained prompt and response history that you can view and delete through account settings. [1] Because these two surfaces frame the default differently, this page does not assert a single fixed retention window in days; the authoritative posture for your specific account is the Privacy & Security configuration at api.together.ai/settings/profile read together with the current privacy policy. Reviewing both before deployment is recommended for any regulated workload.

Zero data retention

Zero data retention is available on Together AI and is documented as a self-serve control rather than an enterprise-only contract item. You enable it in Privacy & Security under your account profile by declining to store prompts or to allow data for model training. [1][2] Under ZDR, the content you submit and the outputs returned are not stored, retained, or used for model training, product improvements, or any secondary purposes except as needed to provide the service. [1]

Two operational notes matter. First, ZDR applies only from the moment you enable it and does not affect any data processed before that point, so enable it before sending traffic. [1] Second, for organizations the organization-level setting governs all traffic made under that organization's projects and API keys, regardless of which member sends the request. [2]

How Meetily uses Together AI

Meetily routes Together AI traffic through your own API key. Together exposes an OpenAI-compatible API at https://api.together.xyz/v1, which is the base URL you enter in Meetily's BYOK summary configuration. [3] Your account's contract and privacy settings apply to that traffic. The transcript text is sent over TLS to Together for summarization, and the response is returned to Meetily and stored locally on your device. Audio is never transmitted to Together at any point.

If you want stronger guarantees than the cloud default offers, enable zero data retention in your Together account before use, or switch your summary model to a local provider such as Ollama. Meetily's transcription path is already local, so the local-summary route keeps the entire pipeline on your device.

Frequently asked questions

Does Together AI train its models on my API prompts and outputs?
No, not by default. Together AI's privacy policy states it does not use any data collected from you to train its models without your explicit opt-in and consent, and that you may revoke that consent at any time. Sharing data for model training is opt-in and not enabled by default per Together's privacy and security documentation.
Is there a difference between Together AI's free tier and paid tier for data use?
Together AI's published privacy and security documentation does not describe a separate data-use posture for a free versus paid tier. The opt-in-only training stance and the zero data retention controls are presented as account and organization settings that apply to API traffic, not as tier-specific terms. Confirm the current posture for your account against the linked policy before deploying a regulated workload.
Is zero data retention available for the Together AI API?
Yes. Together AI documents zero data retention (ZDR) as a self-serve control in Privacy & Security at api.together.ai/settings/profile. Its developer documentation states Together does not store inputs or outputs by default and supports ZDR; under ZDR, submitted content and outputs are not stored, retained, or used for model training or other secondary purposes beyond what is needed to provide the service.
Where is Together AI data stored geographically?
Together AI's documentation refers to secure North America data centers. Its privacy policy notes that information may be processed at the company's operating offices and other locations involved in processing, including outside your own country. Enterprise customers can arrange alternative data residency through private networking and VPC deployments by contacting Together directly. Check your contract and account configuration for the exact region.
How does Meetily handle Together AI when I pick it as my summary provider?
Meetily transcription is always 100% local. Together AI exposes an OpenAI-compatible API at https://api.together.xyz/v1, so you can select it in Meetily's BYOK flow by entering that base URL and your own Together API key. Meetily then routes transcript text (not audio) to Together using your key. The retention and training defaults on this page apply to your traffic, not Meetily's.
What if I want zero retention on Together AI?
Enable zero data retention in your Together account's Privacy & Security settings before sending any traffic, since ZDR applies only from the moment you enable it and does not affect data processed earlier. For organizations, the organization-level setting governs all traffic under that organization's API keys. If you prefer to keep everything on your device, switch your Meetily summary model to a local provider like Ollama; Meetily's transcription path is already local.

Use Together AI with Meetily, on your terms

Meetily transcription stays 100% local. For summaries, bring your own Together AI key (BYOK) so the data path matches the policy you just read - or pick a local model if you want zero retention by construction.
