What happens to your prompts?

Partially privateNo policy found

No endpoint-wide public prompt-retention, training, operator-access, or deletion policy was found.

Caveat
NDIF documentation and project pages explain research access and instrumentation, but no public service terms or privacy policy defining prompt retention, research use, operator access, or deletion was found. Research workloads should be assumed observable unless a project agreement says otherwise.

No provider terms or privacy-policy link is captured in this snapshot. Review the provider’s current legal documents before sending sensitive data.
