Moonshot AI: data residency & retention
Headquarters
🇨🇳 China (China)
Where inference runs
Not disclosed
The international platform is run by a Singapore entity and stores collected information on servers in Singapore, but inference compute location is not disclosed and the policy is silent on transfers to the Beijing parent.
Region pinning
No
API docs list only global base URLs with no region parameter or residency options; the mainland-China platform (moonshot.cn) is separate.
Prompt retention
Retained
Input is stored as long as necessary for the services and other business purposes such as service improvement, with no fixed period disclosed.
Trains on API data
Yes, by default
API terms permit using content for training and refining Moonshot's underlying technology; restriction only via enterprise arrangements — no self-serve opt-out.
Zero data retention
Not offered
No ZDR or ephemeral mode in policy, terms, or docs; ZDR for Kimi models exists only via third-party hosts.
