Overview
- Zhipu’s MaaS platform announced an opt‑in “data content non‑retention” option that, once activated, will stop static storage of model call inputs and outputs and use data only to complete each call.
- Enterprise and developer customers must apply to enable the feature through the MaaS console and the platform will confirm each activation’s timing and exact scope.
- The non‑retention setting does not cover Batch API, File API and other functions that need server‑side persistence, and the company says it will still retain data when required by law or to investigate suspected misuse.
- The announcement follows a ZCode code‑repository indexing issue that the company apologized for and said it has fixed, and it is presented as a privacy safeguard to reassure customers.
- Users should expect transient processing of inputs for each model call even with non‑retention enabled, and the change could prompt enterprises to reassess which APIs they use or require written confirmation from MaaS about retention limits.
