# Privacy

The Data Extraction API does not permanently store your files. Uploaded documents are discarded after the response is returned.

Extracted content (elements, Markdown, metrics) is returned directly in the API response and not retained on Nutrient servers.

For full details, see the [Nutrient API Privacy Policy](https://www.nutrient.io/legal/privacy/#nutrient-api).

Also refer to the [getting started](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/dws-data-extraction/getting-started.md) guide, [API overview](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/dws-data-extraction/api-overview.md), [Data Extraction API overview](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/dws-data-extraction.md), and [pricing](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/dws-data-extraction/pricing.md) and [security](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/dws-data-extraction/security.md) pages.
