Exa has introduced Zero Data Retention (ZDR) across its search products, including search, answer, and deep research, ensuring complete data privacy by not storing user query data. Unlike most search providers that rely on Google and therefore cannot offer ZDR, Exa developed its own independent search engine, allowing it to provide accurate results while maintaining privacy. This development has attracted customers, particularly Fortune 500 companies and financial firms, who prioritize data privacy. Exa has extended ZDR to its new endpoints, /answer and /research, enabling AI-powered summaries and deep research reports without compromising data security. This move aligns with Exa's mission to offer powerful, fast, and private access to information.
