Data retention
Router One keeps the minimum metadata needed to power per-request traces and billing reconciliation — and nothing more. This page describes the windows, how to request earlier deletion, and what enterprise contracts can adjust.
Last updated:
Request and response bodies
- Not stored
- Prompt content and model completions pass through in real time. They are never persisted to disk and never copied to any analytics store.
- Streaming
- Streaming responses are forwarded byte-for-byte. No completion buffer is retained after the connection closes.
Metadata windows
- Observability — 90 days
- Per-request trace (timestamp, final model and provider, token counts, latency, status code, cost, and API key metadata) is queryable in the dashboard for 90 days from the request time.
- Billing reconciliation — 13 months
- Aggregated billing rows are retained for 13 months so customers can audit invoices against the underlying usage during the standard accounting period.
- After the window
- Data is purged. The dashboard's per-request trace will return 'not available' for requests older than the window.
Customer-initiated deletion
- How to request
- Email support@router.one from the account owner address. Include the account email and any API key or request IDs needed to locate the records; support will confirm the eligible scope, legal retention requirements, and expected timeline before action.
- Scope
- Eligible account metadata can be reviewed for earlier deletion. Billing reconciliation rows may still be retained where required by Chinese / international accounting law; support will state which rows are retained and why.
Sub-processors and upstream behavior
- Upstream providers
- Router One forwards requests to upstream LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.). Each provider has its own retention policy that applies once the request leaves the gateway.
- What Router One does not hold
- Router One does not hold a copy of the prompt or completion that the upstream provider receives. We hold only the metadata listed above.
Enterprise contracts
- Adjustable windows
- Enterprise contracts can lengthen the observability window, shorten the billing reconciliation window where law permits, or add programmatic export of trace data to a customer-owned destination.
FAQ
Can Router One delete my historical metadata earlier than 90 days?
Email support@router.one from the account owner address with the account email and any relevant API key or request IDs. Support will confirm the eligible scope and timeline; accounting-law retention may still apply to billing rows.
Do you publish a sub-processor list?
The active set of upstream LLM providers is shown on /models. The provider used for a given request is recorded in that request's trace. Router One itself does not hold customer prompts or completions.
Where is the metadata stored geographically?
Storage region details are documented in enterprise contracts under NDA. Contact sales via /contact for specifics.
