    CSAM Screening Across OpenRouter

    OpenRouter will screen all inference requests in flight for child sexual abuse material (CSAM), comparing applicable content against hashes of previously identified CSAM and retaining content flagged as potential CSAM for human review, with reporting and preservation where required by law. Screening also applies to requests covered by OpenRouter's Zero Data Retention (ZDR) policy, which is being updated to state that prompts and responses are not retained after processing except when users choose storage or when retention is needed for CSAM review, reporting, and related legal preservation. Under U.S. law, covered providers must report to NCMEC's CyberTipline as soon as reasonably possible after obtaining actual knowledge of facts indicating specified apparent offenses, and reported contents and certain related contextual material must be preserved for one year after submission (18 U.S.C. § 2258A(a) and (h)).
