You may only use the service for your personal, non-commercial purposes. You must not upload any private information. You must not use the service commercially or at scale. Unauthorized use may result in suspension of your access.

The service is a research project. It only provides limited safety measures and may generate offensive content. It must not be used for any illegal, harmful, violent, racist, or sexual purposes.

Open Inference is an experimental research project without any warranties or liabilities.

5. Data Collection

We record all content you submit and all model outputs (“Data”), including text, images, files, and minimal request metadata.

For API / OpenRouter Users:

We do not store IP addresses, cookies, or account identifiers, and cannot link submissions back to a particular person.

For Chat App Users:

To provide account functionality (e.g., login, chat history), we store standard account information such as identifiers, cookies, and IP addresses. This account data is kept private and is never included in our public datasets.

Warning: The Data you intend to submit may itself contain personal information (e.g., names, Social Security numbers). Please do not include sensitive personal data in your prompts. Any such information will be subject to our redaction process before any public release.

6. Data Usage and Sharing

Data is used for research, safety evaluation, and to improve the Service. We reserve the right to publish, share, or redistribute redacted versions of the Data under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC‑BY) or similar open license.

Before any public release:

  • We apply automated redaction to remove private keys, names, contact details, and other identifiers that may appear in the content.
  • We strictly exclude all Chat App account metadata (emails, IPs, cookies) from released datasets. If you registered with Facebook and would like to delete your user data, click here.

7. Data Retention and Deletion

Individual submissions cannot be deleted or withdrawn once made. If you do not want your content used or released, do not submit it.
