🔒 Core Privacy Principle

Retriv.ai operates on a Zero Data Retention model for all processed documents. We do not store, log, or retain any document content after processing is complete.

What this means:

  • Documents are processed in-memory and immediately deleted after API response
  • No document content is used for model training or improvement
  • Only anonymized metadata (file size, processing time, error codes) is retained for system monitoring
  • Enterprise customers can enable audit logs (metadata only, no content)

  • Legal Requirements: When required by law, subpoena, or legal process
  • Business Transfers: In connection with mergers, acquisitions, or asset sales
  • With Your Consent: When you explicitly authorize sharing
