Privacy & Data Protection

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 25, 2026

1. Information We Collect

We collect account information (such as your email address and display name) when you register. When you use the Gateway, our edge proxies collect operational request telemetry, including request timestamps, model identifiers, token counts, HTTP status codes, and latency metrics.

2. Zero Data Retention on Prompts

By default, 1Rute operates a zero-retention policy for prompt payloads and model completions. Raw request and response streams pass directly through edge temporary memory (RAM) and are never permanently persisted to database, disk, or KV cache storage.

3. How We Use Data

We use operational telemetry to meter token consumption, calculate account billing debits, monitor gateway latency, and prevent abuse or unauthorized access.

4. Data Forwarding & Upstream Provider Processing

To complete your inference requests, request payloads are forwarded securely over TLS to the respective upstream model provider. While 1Rute enforces zero payload retention within its gateway infrastructure (0 KB stored), upstream model providers process requests subject to their own commercial data handling, privacy, and retention policies. 1Rute does not operate or control third-party upstream provider infrastructure. Users processing confidential, proprietary, or regulated data should review respective provider terms.

5. Security & Encryption

All API traffic is encrypted in transit using TLS. API key secrets are cryptographically hashed using SHA-256 before storage, and passwords are protected with bcrypt.
