Understand generative AI tool data retention without dissecting terms of service

Manage security and legal risk by staying on top your vendors.

Things move fast in the world of (generative) AI.

New products and services are popping up all the time. It’s hard to track them all.

That’s why StackAware frequently updates its guide to the data retention practices of the big players.

Excessive data retention can create two main risks:

• From a security perspective, the longer data is retained the longer it can be accessed by a malicious actor.

• From a legal perspective, data that has not been purged can be subject to a legal hold and the discovery process during a court case.

So staying on top of your providers’ policies is key.

In this guide, we break down those for:

• X

• OpenAI

• Amazon

• Anthropic

• Microsoft Azure
