Privacy & retention
Privacy & retention
What Kontinent stores — and what it never stores.
Zero prompt retention is a design contract, not a setting.
What is never stored
Request and response bodies are never persisted or logged anywhere in the pipeline. This is enforced by an end-to-end test that greps logs for a sentinel value, so a regression fails CI.
Because of this, the gateway cannot replay a prompt. Do not build anything that assumes it can — there is no server-side history of your inputs or model outputs.
What is stored
Only metadata survives a request:
- Token counts (prompt / completion / total)
- Latency and HTTP status
- Model id and computed cost
This metadata powers billing, usage analytics, and rate limiting — none of it contains your prompt or the model’s response.
Data residency
Requests are served by EU-resident providers. Each model’s
sovereignty tier tells you whether the provider
is EU-owned (strict) or an EU region of a non-EU parent (pragmatic), so you
can enforce the residency guarantee your use case requires.
