Vercel AI Gateway Adds Team-Wide Zero Data Retention Controls.

Vercel has announced that AI Gateway now supports team-wide Zero Data Retention (ZDR). The update is designed to help teams manage data handling requirements across multiple AI providers from a single control layer, without needing to configure policies separately for each model vendor.

Key details from the announcement:

• Team-wide ZDR can be enabled from the dashboard
• AI Gateway routes requests only to providers where Vercel says it has negotiated ZDR agreements
• The policy can apply across providers including Claude, GPT, Gemini, and others
• Additional controls include per-request settings and the option to disallow prompt training
• Vercel positions the gateway as a way to enforce data requirements without changing application code

For small business owners and builders, this could reduce the operational overhead of working with multiple AI models while keeping stricter data policies in place. It may be especially useful for teams that need simpler compliance controls but do not want to manage provider rules individually.
