Data Privacy & Sovereignty
Zero Data Retention (ZDR)
Search queries and candidate corpus passages are processed strictly in volatile GPU tensor memory. Zero logging to disk, zero IP tracking, and zero model training on customer payloads.
Ephemeral Scoring Pass
Query-document tokens exist strictly in GPU forward-pass activations and are flushed immediately upon returning scores.
Zero Disk Storage
Runtime containers operate with disk caching and payload logging permanently disabled at the engine level.
No Model Training
Customer traffic is never collected, pooled, or utilized for model fine-tuning, training datasets, or benchmarking.
