# Zero Data Retention (ZDR)

A privacy standard where AI providers guarantee that user data is processed in real-time and deleted immediately, never used for model training.

## Business Value



Solves the biggest hurdle for enterprise AI adoption: the fear of data leaks through AI training.

## Context Studios Perspective



We only work with ZDR-certified APIs or private deployments. Your data never becomes training material for your competitors.
