Teams evaluating OpenAI vs Anthropic for privacy-sensitive workloads should factor this gap into procurement decisions, but should wait for OpenAI to publish Private Safety Processing technical details before assuming true ZDR, since the mechanism is currently undescribed. openai anthropic zero-data-retention enterprise-ai data-privacy

OpenAI chases Anthropic's biz customers with zero data retention pledge

OpenAI announced Private Safety Processing, a mechanism that automatically scans customer model interactions for safety risks while maintaining Zero Data Retention (ZDR) commitments—something rival Anthropic hasn't achieved for its top models (Mythos 5 and Fable 5), which require 30-day prompt and output retention as of June 9, 2026.
