ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes a user-configurable data handling control that, when enabled, restricts Together AI's use of prompts and outputs to processing the immediate request only. The prospective-only application means data processed before enablement is not covered by this restriction.

"
When using the Services, in your Privacy & Security setting, you have the ability to control how your data is handled by choosing "No" when asked if you want to store prompts or allow your data to train models. By choosing "No", you are enabling Zero Data Retention ("ZDR") for your use of the Services. Under ZDR, your data and outputs are not stored, retained, or used for model training, product improvements, or any other purpose beyond the time required to process the specific request or transaction. ZDR applies only from the moment you enable it and does not affect any data processed prior.
