Equivalent paid value

Not quantifiable

How this was valued: The published allowance or a defensible paid comparison is not precise enough to calculate.

A request-rate limit is published, but response sizes and a like-for-like paid rate are not.

What happens to your prompts?

Partially privateReviewed

The gateway defaults to zero retention and no training, but upstream providers are independently governed and optional logging changes retention.

Plan Scope
LLM.API gateway. The gateway's defaults and optional All Data Mode are separate from each selected AI provider's independent terms.
Prompt Retention
Gateway default is zero content retention beyond transaction time. Optional All Data Mode retains prompts and outputs for up to 90 days for analytics, semantic caching, and debugging.
Response Retention
Same gateway policy as prompts; cached responses and All Data Mode create retained content.
Ordinary Logging
Request metadata is maintained for billing and analytics. Account, billing, fraud, security, and service-improvement data may be processed independently of customer instructions.
Model Training
LLM.API says it does not train, fine-tune, evaluate, benchmark, or improve models with content processed under its DPA. Upstream AI providers may use inputs or outputs for improvement or training under their own terms.
Product Improvement
The gateway may use controller-side operational data for service improvement, but its DPA prohibits model improvement with processor content. All Data Mode enables product features using retained content.
Human Or Operator Access
LLM.API says it does not inspect routed content except where All Data Mode is enabled; authorized personnel processing personal data must be under confidentiality obligations.
Subprocessors And Routing
Requests go to an independently governed AI provider that is expressly not treated as LLM.API's subprocessor. Customers must assess and contract with that provider themselves.
Deletion Controls
All Data Mode can be disabled and its retained content deleted from the dashboard at any time. Upstream deletion and data-subject requests remain provider-specific.
Caveat
The gateway's zero-content-retention and no-training promises do not bind the final AI provider. The terms prohibit submitting personal, confidential, or third-party material without all necessary rights and authorizations.
