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.
