OpenRouter updated its Terms of Service on July 7, 2026, with the most material change being clarification and reorganization of user content licensing provisions. The updated terms now explicitly state that if users opt into prompt logging, chat logging is automatically enabled, and OpenRouter receives a broad license to use user content for service provision and commercial purposes, including licensing or selling anonymized content. The terms also introduced a new reference to a Stealth Program End User License Agreement for users accessing models in that program. Several sections were reorganized and minor grammatical corrections were made, but the core substantive permissions regarding content licensing and data handling remain substantially similar to previous language.
The updated terms clarify that enabling prompt logging automatically activates chat logging as well, and grant OpenRouter a perpetual, worldwide license to use your content for service provision and commercial purposes. This includes the explicit right to license or sell your user content in anonymized form. Users accessing Stealth Program models must now also agree to a separate End User License Agreement. You can disable prompt logging in your account settings if you do not wish to grant these permissions.
The updated terms clarify and formalize OpenRouter's rights to log, store, modify, and commercially reuse user content, including selling anonymized versions. The automatic activation of chat logging when prompt logging is enabled means users may unknowingly expand the scope of logged interactions, creating potential privacy and data governance considerations for both individual users and organizations integrating OpenRouter into their operations.
→ Review your account settings and disable prompt logging if you do not want OpenRouter to log chats or to have rights to use your content for commercial purposes.
→ If accessing Stealth Program models, review the incorporated Stealth Program End User License Agreement to understand the specific terms governing those models.
→ If you have prompt logging enabled, chat logging will be automatically enabled as well, and OpenRouter will have the right to use your content for commercial purposes including anonymized resale.
→ If you access Stealth Program models without reviewing the incorporated End User License Agreement, you will be bound by those additional terms as a condition of use.
Enabling prompt logging now automatically triggers chat logging, broadening the scope of logged interactions without separate user election.

Turning on prompt logging now automatically activates chat logging, capturing a broader record of your interactions.
OpenRouter reorganized and clarified its user content licensing provisions effective July 7, 2026. The key change is explicit language confirming that opting into prompt logging automatically enables chat logging, triggering a broad, perpetual license grant to OpenRouter for content use including commercial purposes and anonymized resale. A new Stealth Program End User License Agreement requirement was also added. These changes engage data protection frameworks (GDPR, CCPA) regarding consent for data processing and commercial use, and may implicate AI governance regulations depending on model types and jurisdictions. Compliance review should focus on whether the automatic enablement of chat logging upon prompt logging selection constitutes affirmative consent under applicable law, and whether the anonymized resale provision creates disclosure obligations in consumer privacy notices.
GDPR (particularly Articles 4, 6, and 9 regarding consent and lawful basis), CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act regarding sale of personal information and opt-out rights), COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act if minors access the service), and emerging AI governance frameworks such as the EU AI Act depending on model classification.
