| Retention | Until deleted; ~30 days after deletionShow detailsHide detailsConversations, Memories, and the account itself persist until the user deletes them. Once a deletion request is made, OpenAI states data is removed from its systems within 30 days, with exceptions where longer retention is required: fraud and abuse prevention, legal obligations, financial records for payments, and the audit trail of the deletion request itself. Temporary Chats are deleted automatically within 30 days unless a longer hold is needed for legal or safety reasons. | No storage by default (Private mode)Show detailsHide detailsAnonymous-tier requests go to outside frontier-model providers, and Venice's own guidance is to assume that provider stores the content under its own policy. Private-tier and TEE/E2EE-tier requests are not stored — enforced by contract on Private, and by hardware enclave plus client-side encryption on TEE/E2EE. One disclosed exception: prompts may sit in server memory in plaintext for the duration of a single request (never written to disk) on the Anonymous and Private tiers, and generated videos are held on Venice's servers temporarily until downloaded, then deleted shortly after — the one standing exception to the no-storage policy, due to file size. |
