Where your content goes
Generating anything means sending it to a model provider. This is the full list, as the Terms state it (§8.3), so it can be read without reading the Terms.
| Provider | How we reach it | Used for | May it train on your content? | How long it keeps it | Where it processes it |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| OpenAI (API) | Directly | Image generation | No — under OpenAI's business terms, API data is not used for training | Up to 30 days for abuse monitoring | United States |
| Google (Gemini API) | Directly | Image generation | No — under Google's paid Gemini API terms, prompts and outputs are not used to improve Google's products | Kept for a limited period for abuse monitoring, under Google's terms | United States and other countries where Google operates |
| ByteDance (Seedance) | Directly, via ByteDance's Volcano Engine (Volcengine) Ark API, Beijing region | Video generation | Not authorised by us — we have not granted the provider permission to use Your Content for training | Content flagged by the provider's safety filters may be retained for up to 180 days | Mainland China |
| Alibaba Cloud (Model Studio) | Directly | Video generation | Not authorised by us — we have not granted the provider permission to use Your Content for training | As set by the provider's terms; we have not agreed a specific retention period | Mainland China (the China-region Model Studio endpoint) |
| MiniMax | Directly, via its international API | Video generation | Not authorised by us — we have not granted the provider permission to use Your Content for training | As set by the provider's terms; we have not agreed a specific retention period | Varies; may include jurisdictions outside your country, including mainland China |
A row that says “under review” means exactly that: we have not yet agreed those terms with the provider, and we would rather say so than publish a claim we cannot stand behind. The list changes when the models we route to change — the date above is when it was last checked against the engine’s own registry.
