Logging
What Segmind logs for usage and billing, the data we never store, and how long files are held temporarily during model fine-tuning.
Overview
At Segmind, we value your privacy and ensure that the information we log is strictly for operational and billing purposes. This document outlines what data we collect, how we use it, and our policies regarding the storage of your data.
What We Log
- Usage and Billing Metrics:
- We log basic information to help us calculate usage and billing metrics. This includes:
- Time of Inference: The exact date and time each inference is run.
- Inference Duration: The time taken to run each inference.
- We log basic information to help us calculate usage and billing metrics. This includes:
- Prompt and Settings:
- For better user experience and caching, Segmind stores the prompt and any associated configuration parameters that are inputs to a model. This allows us to optimize performance and ensure smooth operation. No images/videos/audio files are stored.
- Outputs: Segmind stores outputs for 7 days after inference, post which all outputs are automatically deleted. This is the output file at its result URL — the request record you poll on the async endpoints expires well before this, so save the URL when you fetch it. See Result expiry.
Data We Do Not Store
- Model Inference Data:
- Segmind does not store any input images, videos, or audio files associated with any run for model inferencing. Your data remains transient and is processed only for the duration of the inference.
Temporary Storage for Model Fine-Tuning
- Fine-Tuning Images:
- Images required for fine-tuning a model are stored for a limited amount of time to complete the fine-tuning process.
- These images can be deleted upon request. Please contact our support team if you wish to have them removed from our servers.
Monitoring
Track Segmind API usage from the console: Generations for individual requests, Cost Analytics for spend, and API Health for latency percentiles, success rate and error breakdown.
Segmind Storage
Upload files to Segmind Storage and get a reusable URL to pass as an image input to any model, instead of re-uploading the same file.
