ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Users have no recourse to halt or reverse a deletion after confirmation, making the confirmation step a point of no return with permanent consequences for account and data access.

⚠

Interpretive note: The excerpt states two sequential effects: (1) account becomes inaccessible during processing, and (2) the process is irreversible once confirmed. The canonical claim addresses the primary legal consequence (irreversibility); the inaccessibility during processing is noted in omitted_material.

Recent Activity

This document changed recently

Medium Sep 1, 2026

The updated policy raises the minimum age to use OpenRouter from 13 to 18 years old, meaning users under 18 are no longer eligible. For users who upload files through the Files API feature, the revised terms establish specific handling procedures: files are encrypted at rest and in transit, transmitted to model providers you select, retained until deletion or account closure, and not used for training or marketing purposes. The policy specifies that access is restricted to automated systems necessary to operate the service, and manual access occurs only for investigating violations, responding to legal process, or providing support. You can delete uploaded files at any time, which triggers removal efforts from active systems and backups within timeframes specified in the Data Processing Agreement.
