What zero data retention means, where your files live, and the clauses to ask for.

## Where your data goes

With enterprise agreements, your prompts and files are processed and then discarded. They are not used to train public models.

## Where it lives

Documents can stay in your own Microsoft or Google tenancy. The AI reads them in place, with the same permissions your staff have.

## What to put in the contract

A data processing agreement, a zero-retention clause and the right to an audit log.
