Chutes: data residency & retention
Headquarters
🇰🇳 Saint Kitts and Nevis (Other)
Where inference runs
Not disclosed
ToS names the contracting entity as Chutes Global Corp, governed by the laws of Nevis, Saint Kitts and Nevis (overriding the US hint). Inference runs on independent third-party Node Operators (Bittensor miners): 'Chutes does not operate or directly control Node Operator hardware', so there is no disclosed or controllable geography for where a given request is processed. TEE-enabled models process requests in hardware-isolated memory (Intel TDX, NVIDIA Protected PCIe).
Region pinning
No
Decentralized miner network — no region pinning exists or is claimed; node location is not controlled by Chutes.
Prompt retention
Not retained
Privacy policy: for public LLM API usage 'no content from your prompts, completions, conversation history, images, audio, or video is logged, stored, or persisted' and content 'is never written to a database, log file, or other persistent storage'. Caveat: this is Chutes' platform-level claim; individual node operators are independent parties Chutes says it does not control.
Trains on API data
No
ToS: 'We do not use your API requests, responses, or application content to train AI models.'
Zero data retention
Available
Zero content retention is the default for the public API; an end-to-end encryption mode is also offered where 'the Chutes API relays ciphertext... and cannot decrypt the request or response body'.
