+## HIPAA and Zero Data Retention mode
+
+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:
+
+- Variable values passed via `variableValues` are processed during the call but **not persisted** after the call ends
+- Call logs, recordings, and transcriptions are not stored
+- Variables are only available in real-time during the active call session
+
+This ensures compliance with privacy requirements while still allowing you to personalize conversations with dynamic variables.
+
+<Note>
+For more information on enabling HIPAA compliance and understanding data retention policies, see the [HIPAA Compliance](/security-and-privacy/hipaa) documentation.
