Training on your data (default tier)
Customer documents and custom models are private customer data and are never used to train or improve Document AI models
“At Google Cloud, we never use customer data to train our Document AI models. / Documents and custom models are considered to be (private) customer data.”
Retention
Online requests processed in memory and not persisted; batch documents deleted after processing with a one-day failsafe
“For online (immediate response) operations, the document data (sent in the request) is processed in memory, encrypted in flight, and not persisted to disk. / For batch operations, the stored document is typically deleted immediately after the processing, with a failsafe Time to live (TTL) of one day.”
Data residency
Regional and multi-regional endpoints; the customer selects the processing location
EU and US multi-regions are documented in the Document AI regions page.

Assessment
API: low
Reasoning: Google Cloud's document parsing and OCR API. No training on customer documents, in-memory processing for online calls, one-day ceiling for batch, and a customer-chosen region, all under the Google Cloud data processing terms. As good as a hosted document API gets.
Assessed 2026-09-16. The assessment is Unseen's; the terms above are the vendor's.
