This page describes what the document states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
OpenRouter's Privacy Policy explains what happens to your data when you use the service: by using it, you consent to data collection, and some AI providers that receive your messages may use them to train their models — something OpenRouter says it cannot control. OpenRouter can change this policy at any time without advance notice, and keeping using the service counts as your agreement to the new terms. If you ask to delete your account, that action cannot be undone once confirmed.
OpenRouter's Privacy Policy establishes the terms under which OpenRouter collects, uses, and shares personal data from users of its Site and Service. The policy requires that use of the Site or Service constitutes consent to data collection and use, and that continued use after a revised policy is posted constitutes acceptance of changes, including retroactive application to personal data already held. OpenRouter expressly disclaims responsibility for how third-party Model Providers and LLMs handle user Inputs and Outputs after transmission, including use in model training, and acknowledges it cannot control Model Provider-side training once data is transmitted. Users bear responsibility for obtaining biometric notice and consent from any third parties whose voice or image appears in data submitted to a Model, and account deletion is irreversible once confirmed.
When you use OpenRouter, your inputs and outputs may be used by third-party Model Providers for AI model training, and OpenRouter states it has no control over that use once your data is transmitted. Any image, audio, or video you submit may be treated as biometric information under applicable laws, and if it contains another person's likeness or voice, you are responsible for obtaining that person's consent. OpenRouter may change its privacy terms at any time without notice, applying new terms even to data it already holds, with your continued use treated as acceptance. If you wish to manage how your data is handled by Model Providers, you should review the training-permission status of those providers before submitting data through OpenRouter.
