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, model, fallback chain, token counts, latency, status code, cost) 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 contact@routerone.ai from the account owner address with the project ID. We confirm execution within 7 business days.
- Scope
- Earlier deletion of metadata for a given project. Billing reconciliation rows older than the requested cutoff may be retained where required by Chinese / international accounting law; we will state explicitly 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?
- Yes — email contact@routerone.ai from the account owner address with the project ID. We confirm execution within 7 business days, subject to accounting-law retention on 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.
