## HIPAA and Zero Data Retention mode
157+
158+
When HIPAA mode or Zero Data Retention is enabled for your organization or assistant, Vapi does not store any call data, including variable values. This means:
159+
160+
- Variable values passed via `variableValues` are processed during the call but **not persisted** after the call ends
161+
- Call logs, recordings, and transcriptions are not stored
162+
- Variables are only available in real-time during the active call session
163+
164+
This ensures compliance with privacy requirements while still allowing you to personalize conversations with dynamic variables.
165+
