TL;DR

  • Exa now offers Zero Data Retention (ZDR) for its search, answer, and deep research products.
  • ZDR means user query data is never stored, adhering to the highest data privacy standards.
  • Most search providers cannot offer ZDR because they crawl Google, which trains on user queries.
  • Exa developed its own independent search engine over four years, allowing for true ZDR.
  • The /answer endpoint provides AI summaries, and the /research endpoint offers deep research reports with ZDR.
  • This enhances data privacy for sensitive research topics.
