What happens to your prompts?
Partially privateReviewed
Hugging Face does not store routed bodies, but each selected upstream provider has its own independent data policy.
- Plan Scope
- Hugging Face Inference Providers routing layer; each selected inference provider has separate data-security terms.
- Prompt Retention
- Hugging Face states it does not store request bodies or responses when routing requests. Debugging logs are kept up to 30 days without user data or tokens.
- Response Retention
- Hugging Face states routed responses are not stored.
- Ordinary Logging
- Debugging logs are retained up to 30 days but are described as excluding user data and tokens.
- Model Training
- Hugging Face states it does not store routed user data for training purposes; the selected upstream provider's separate policy still applies.
- Product Improvement
- No routed prompt or response use for Hugging Face training is disclosed; upstream provider policies must be reviewed separately.
- Human Or Operator Access
- Hugging Face says request and response bodies are not stored by its routing layer; upstream provider access remains provider-specific.
- Subprocessors And Routing
- The service is a proxy that sends requests to the selected external inference provider, which is independently responsible for its security and data handling.
- Deletion Controls
- No routed content is said to be stored by Hugging Face; account personal-data rights are governed by the Hugging Face privacy policy.
- Caveat
- The Hugging Face proxy policy does not replace the policy of the final inference provider. Automatic routing can change which upstream processes a request.
